EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)


These Regulations amend the Social Security and Child Support (Decisions and Appeals) Regulations 1999 (S.I. 1999/991) ("the principal Regulations"). The Regulations make an amendment to regulation 5A which provides the date from which a decision revised under section 16 of the Child Support Act 1991 (c. 48) takes effect.

Regulation 2 substitutes a new paragraph (2)(b) in regulation 5A of the principal Regulations to clarify the operation of that regulation. This regulation also adds a definition for the purposes of that paragraph.

These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
