These Regulations amend existing regulations under Article 137 of the Welfare Reform (Northern Ireland) Order 2015 which provided for welfare supplementary payment to be paid to individuals where certain entitlements to social security benefits had been terminated or reduced. The relevant common feature of the existing regulations was that they provided for welfare supplementary payment not to be payable for times after 31st March 2020. These Regulations provide for welfare supplementary payment under the existing regulations to become payable again as from the end of the day these Regulations are made. These Regulations do not alter what is payable for times before they come into operation. Accordingly, replacement of the 31st March 2020 cut-off date with the new end date of 31st March 2025 is accompanied by text confirming that welfare supplementary payment is not payable under the existing regulations for times in the “administrative period” that began with 1st April 2020 and ends with the date these Regulations are made.
