Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Child Benefit (General) Regulations 1976 (“the 1976 Regulations”).
A revised definition of“advanced education” and“full-time education” is inserted by regulation 3 into the 1976 Regulations.
Regulation 4 replaces regulation 5 of the 1976 Regulations with a new regulation 5 which specifies education that is to be treated as full-time education.
Regulation 5 amends regulation 7 of the 1976 Regulations. The amended provision further provides for treating persons as entitled to child benefit for a specified period upon their ceasing to receive full-time education; and also in certain cases where a person has been entered for an external examination.
Regulation 6 adds two new paragraphs, (9) and (10), to regulation 16 of the 1976 Regulations so as to provide that there will be no title to child benefit in the case of a child in care, who is placed for adoption and in respect of whom a local authority is making a payment.
Regulation 7 up-dates references to superseded provisions in regulations 16 and 17 of the 1976 Regulations.
Regulation 8 is a transitional provision relating to the continuation of entitlement to child benefit in respect of a child placed for adoption prior to 6th April 1987.
The Report of the Social Security Advisory Committee dated 17th December 1986 relevant to these Regulations is contained in Command Paper No. 106 published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.
