The Social Fund Winter Fuel Payment Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998
These Regulations provide for a winter fuel payment to be paid to persons who fall within the categories prescribed in regulation 2 on any day within the qualifying period (defined in regulation 1(2)) of amounts specified in regulation 3. A decision as to entitlement may be made on the basis of official records held by the Department and the Department of Social Security but not so as to exclude other evidence on a review of that decision under the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (regulation 4).
