11 January 2010 – Consultation: The Employment and Support Allowance (Transitional Provisions) (Existing awards) Regulations 2010 and the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Employment and Support Allowance) Amendment Regulations 2010

 The Social Security Advisory Committee (SSAC) has been asked by the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to consider proposals for The Employment and Support Allowance (Transitional Provisions) (Existing Awards) Regulations 2010 and The Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Employment and Support Allowance) Amendment Regulations 2010.

The proposed regulations provide for the movement of benefit claims from Incapacity Benefit, Income Support paid on grounds of incapacity and Severe Disablement Allowance to Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and associated changes to Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit.

Before the Committee considers and reports on these proposals, it would like to hear from organisations and individuals who have views on these proposed regulations.

Those wishing to make representations to the Committee may obtain a copy of the Department’s Explanatory Memorandum and a copy of the draft regulations from the SSAC website: www.ssac.org.uk or from the Secretary to the Committee, Gill Saunders (0207 962 8345). Representations should be sent to the Committee at Level Three, Adelphi Building, 1-11 John Adam Street, London WC2N 6HT or by email to ssac@dwp.gsi.gov.uk, or via the consultation response facility on the SSAC website.

Responses should arrive no later than Monday 8 February 2010.
