The Pensions (2004 Act and 2005 Order) (PPF Payments and FAS Payments) (Consequential Provisions) Order (Northern Ireland) 2006
This Order amends the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) and the State Pension Credit Act (Northern Ireland) 2002 (“the 2002 Act”) so as to allow adult dependency increases, incapacity benefit and state pension credit to take into account Pension Protection Fund periodic payments (“PPF periodic payments”) in a similar way to that in which pensions and benefit payments are treated. It also amends the Jobseekers (Northern Ireland) Order 1995 (“the 1995 Order”) so as to allow contribution-based jobseeker’s allowance similarly to take into account Pension Protection Fund payments (“PPF payments”) and Financial Assistance Scheme payments (“FAS payments”).
