The Income Support (General) (Amendment No. 3) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996
These Regulations amend regulation 21(3A) of the Income Support (General) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the Income Support Regulations”) so as to provide that a person who is in residential accommodation provided by the Department of Health and Social Services (“the Department”) and who is still in such accommodation when that accommodation becomes a residential care home for the purpose of the Income Support Regulations, will be treated as being in residential accommodation, notwithstanding that the Department may no longer be under a duty to provide or make arrangements for providing accommodation for that person.
