(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 8(1) of the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1976 provides that a person is not to be treated as gainfully employed on any day in a week unless his earnings in the immediately preceding week have exceeded a specified amount. Paragraph (2)(b) of that regulation provides that there is to be disregarded for the purposes of paragraph (1) a person's earnings for any week throughout which he is absent from his employment with the authority of his employer.
Regulation 2 of these Regulations revokes that provision. Regulation 3 makes a saving in respect of those persons to whom regulation 8(2)(b) applied immediately before the revocation took effect.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
