Regulation 2 substitutes a new version of regulation 2(1) of the Discretionary Financial Assistance Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2001 (S.R. 2001 No. 216). The substituted regulation clarifies the structure of the previous regulation and specifies that all tenants, regardless of tenure type, may be eligible for a discretionary housing payment if the amount of housing benefit which they are entitled to is less than it would have been, due to the removal of the family premium from the Housing Benefit applicable amount, and they are deemed to require additional financial assistance in order to meet housing costs. As a result of these changes, the definition of “registered housing association” in regulation 1(2) is no longer required and is therefore omitted.

The Teachers’ Pension Scheme (Consequential Provisions) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016

summary:
Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993 concerns “anti-franking”, or the protection of increases in guaranteed minimum pensions (“GMPs”) which contracted-out schemes had to provide until 1997. For this purpose, the Regulations provide that the “cessation date”, when a person ceases to be in contracted-out employment under the old scheme (and from which point GMPs may need to be increased) is treated as the date when the person leaves the new scheme, and not the date when they transfer from their old scheme to their new scheme. Regulation 9A includes a subsequent modification of the definition of “cessation date” in section 83 of the 1993 Act; that definition was amended by the Pensions Act (Northern Ireland) 2015 as part of the abolition of contracting-out.

Chapter 3 of Part 4 of the Pension Schemes (Northern Ireland) Act 1993 concerns “anti-franking”, or the protection of increases in guaranteed minimum pensions (“GMPs”) which contracted-out schemes had to provide until 1997.

Regulation 9 of The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions (Consequential Provisions) Regulations (NI) 2015 includes a modification of the definition of “cessation date” in section 83 of the 1993 Act; that definition was amended by paragraph 38 of Schedule 13 to the Pensions Act (NI) 2015 as part of the abolition of contracting-out. On the coming into operation of regulation 4 of these Regulations, regulation 9 of The Public Service (Civil Servants and Others) Pensions (Consequential Provisions) Regulations (NI) 2015 shall cease to have effect and regulation 9A shall have effect.
