EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend Part 5 of Schedule 4 to the Universal Credit Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/376), which provides for the calculation of the housing costs element in universal credit for claimants who are liable to pay rent to providers of social housing (other than temporary accommodation).

Regulation 2 inserts new paragraph 32A into Part 5 and substitutes a new cross-heading for paragraphs 31 to 32A.

The new paragraph 32A provides for any reduction in a claimant’s rent or service charges that has been applied by a provider of social housing under an incentive scheme approved by the Secretary of State to be disregarded in the calculation of the housing costs element.

No impact assessment has been carried out as these Regulations do not affect the private sector or civil society organisations.
