The Housing Benefit (Transitional) Amendment Regulations 1988
These Regulations, by amending the Housing Benefit (Transitional) Regulations 1987 and modifying the Social Security Act 1986, make further transitional provision in connection with the statutory scheme (the “new scheme”) for the granting of rate rebates, rent rebates and rent allowances introduced by the Social Security Act 1986 and the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1971). This scheme is to be administered by local, rating and housing authorities (“authorities”).
