THE WELFARE REFORM (NORTHERN IRELAND) ORDER 2015 (COMMENCEMENT NO. 13 AND SAVINGS AND TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS) (AMENDMENT) ORDER (NORTHERN IRELAND) 2024

The Department for Communities has made a Statutory Rule entitled “The Social Security (State Pension Age Claimants: Closure of Tax Credits) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024” (S.R. 2024 No. 119).

These Regulations make provision in relation to the abolition of tax credits for certain claimants who have reached the qualifying age for state pension credit. They provide for claimants who are entitled to a working tax credit to move to universal credit with transitional protection and for claimants who are entitled to child tax credit to move to state pension credit with transitional protection. They also make provision consequential on these changes.

Copies of the Rule may be purchased from the Stationery Office at www.tsoshop.co.uk or by contacting TSO Customer Services on 0333 202 5070 or viewed online at www.legislation.gov.uk/nisr.
