Explanatory note

Reproduced verbatim from the instrument as published on legislation.gov.uk (Crown Copyright, Open Government Licence v3.0). The note is prepared by the responsible government department and is not part of the instrument itself.

Article 1(1)(a) brings this Order into operation on 22nd December 2016 for the purpose of making an advance award of state pension under regulation 15 of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987. This means that an advance award of state pension can be made to claimants who reach pensionable age on or after 10th April 2017 which takes account of the revaluation of their pension.

Article 1(1)(b) brings the Order into operation for all other purposes on 9th April 2017. A claimant’s protected payment is revalued by the revaluing percentage specified in the last Order to come into operation before they reach pensionable age. To apply to claimants reaching pensionable age on or after 10th April 2017, the Order therefore needs to come into operation on 9th April 2017.
