Tax Credits Act 2002 Schedule 3 paragraph 33

Amendment to contribution conditions for bereavement benefits

Paragraph 33 of Schedule 3 amends section 60 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992, which deals with the complete or partial failure to satisfy contribution conditions for certain benefits.

• This paragraph makes a minor consequential amendment to section 60 of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992.
• Section 60 deals with what happens when a claimant does not fully meet the national insurance contribution conditions for certain benefits.
• The amendment updates the cross-references in subsections (4) and (5) of section 60, changing "subsections (6) and (7)" to simply "subsection (7)".
• This reflects the removal of subsection (6) as a relevant exception, as a consequence of the wider changes introduced by the Tax Credits Act 2002.
