6. After regulation 14 there shall be inserted the following regulation—
14A.—(1) This regulation applies in a case where an award of income support or a jobseeker’s allowance (“the existing benefit”) exists in favour of a person and, if that award did not exist and a claim was made by that person or his partner for a jobseeker’s allowance or, as the case may be, income support (“the alternative benefit”), an award of the alternative benefit would be made on that claim.
(2) In a case to which this regulation applies, if a claim for the alternative benefit is made the Secretary of State may bring to an end the award of the existing benefit if he is satisfied that an award of the alternative benefit will be made on that claim.
(3) Where, under paragraph (2), the Secretary of State brings an award of the existing benefit to an end he shall do so with effect from the day immediately preceding the first day on which an award of the alternative benefit takes effect.
(4) Where an award of a jobseeker’s allowance is made in accordance with the provisions of this regulation, paragraph 4 of Schedule 1 to the Jobseekers Act (waiting days) shall not apply.”.
