These Regulations amend the Social Security (Incapacity Benefit Work-focused Interviews) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2005 (“the principal Regulations”) to increase the number of persons that can be required to attend work-focused interviews as a condition of their continued entitlement to full benefit. The principal Regulations apply to certain persons who claim incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance, income support on the grounds of incapacity benefit or income support whilst they are appealing a decision which embodies a determination that they are not incapable of work (“specified benefit”).
