AnnotationThese regulations make amendments as a consequence of the Care Standards Act 2000. They amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 (SI 1987/1967) (also the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996), so as to provide that the special amounts which are applicable to those in residential care homes and nursing homes who have preserved rights, shall no longer be applicable from 8th April 2002. They also amend the Social Security (Attendance Allowance) Regulations 1991 (SI 1991/2740) and the Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 1991 (SI 1991/2890), so as to remove the separate provision in respect of payment of attendance allowance and the care component of disability living allowance for those in residential care homes and nursing homes with preserved rights.
