Commentary on Sections

PART 1: Employment and Support Allowance

Miscellaneous

Section 21: Deemed entitlement for other purposes

127.Where specified legislation leads to a loss of entitlement this section enables regulations to be made so that a person can be treated as still entitled to employment and support allowance in order to retain their rights and obligations. This is similar to provisions which currently apply to incapacity benefit.
