Specified date: 1 November 2004: see reg 1(1).
These Regulations amend the Social Fund Cold Weather Payments (General) Regulations 1988 (SI 1988/1724) (“the 1988 Regulations”) to extend the prescribed description of persons who may receive cold weather payments. They also amend the 1988 Regulations in relation to the lists of weather stations and applicable postcode districts in Schedule 1 to those Regulations.
Regulation 2 adds to the persons to whom payment may be made under the 1988 Regulations, persons awarded income support, state pension credit or income-based jobseeker's allowance who are also entitled under the Child Tax Credit Regulations 2002 to an individual amount of child tax credit for a child or qualifying young person who is disabled or severely disabled.
Regulation 3 replaces Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations with the Schedule to these Regulations. The new Schedule largely re-enacts the list contained in the former Schedule 1, but it links S21 to Nottingham instead of to Linton-on-Ouse; assigns postcodes from Ringway weather station (which is being closed) to other weather stations, adds Woodford as a new weather station to the scheme; and provides for certain other changes to the postcode and weather station linkages.
The Postcode Atlas of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the postcode maps may be obtained from their publishers. A person may establish the current postcode for their address by contacting the Royal Mail Postcode Enquiries Office (telephone 08457 111222) or by logging on to the Royal Mail website at HYPERLINK http://www.royalmail.com 00d0c9ea79f9bace118c8200aa004ba90b0200000017000000120000007700770077002e0072006f00790061006c006d00610069006c002e0063006f006d000000e0c9ea79f9bace118c8200aa004ba90b3400000068007400740070003a002f002f007700770077002e0072006f00790061006c006d00610069006c002e0063006f006d002f0000000000www.royalmail.com.
