The State Pension Credit Regulations 2002The State Pension Credit Regulations 2002

The Regulations contained in this Instrument are made either by virtue of, or in consequence of, provisions in the State Pension Credit Act 2002 (c. 16) (“the 2002 Act”). This Instrument is made before the expiry of the period of 6 months beginning with the coming into force of those provisions; the regulations in it are therefore exempt in accordance with section 173(5) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 from the requirement in section 172(2) of that Act to refer proposals to make Regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
