The Social Security (Jobseeker’s Allowance Consequential Amendments) (Deductions) Regulations 1996
These Regulations amend the Community Charges (Deductions from Income Support) (Scotland) Regulations 1989, the Community Charges (Deductions from Income Support) (No. 2) Regulations 1990, the Fines (Deductions from Income Support) Regulations 1992 and the Council Tax (Deductions from Income Support) Regulations 1993, which provide that deductions may be made from a person’s income support and paid towards arrears of community charges or council tax, or towards fines or compensation orders imposed by a court. The regulations are amended so that deductions can also be made from jobseeker’s allowance.
