(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make amendments in consequence of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (c. 5) and insert references in those forms to universal credit.
The Welsh Ministers' Code of Practice on the carrying out of Regulatory Impact Assessments was considered in relation to these Regulations. As a result, it was not considered necessary to carry out a regulatory impact assessment as to the likely costs and benefits of complying with these Regulations.

These functions now vest in the Welsh Ministers by virtue of section 162 of and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006 (c. 32).
