Social Security (Income Support and Jobseeker's Allowance) Amendment Regulations 2004 come into force

The Regulations amend the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 and the Jobseeker's Allowance Regulations 1996 to provide that a person who is entitled to income support or a jobseeker's allowance retains his entitlement to benefit during a period of temporary absence from Great Britain in order to receive NHS hospital treatment. The Regulations can be viewed on the OPSI website.
