(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Regulation 2 amends regulation 10(2) of the Asylum Support Regulations 2000 by increasing the cash amounts payable, as a general rule, in respect of a person´s essential living needs. These changes take effect from the 6th July 2009 and on that date the Asylum Support (Amendment) Regulations 2008, which set out the amounts previously payable, are revoked.
There is no increase in the amounts payable in relation to lone parents age 18 or over, or single persons aged 25 or over. A new unified rate of support will be introduced on the 5th October 2009 for all single persons, aged 18 or over, excluding lone parents.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
