§ Ms. RuddockTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services how the transitional protection arrangements will operate in the case of part-time firemen transferring from supplementary benefit to income support on 11 April; and how their benefit entitlement will be affected by any subsequent fluctuation in their earnings.
§ Mr. ScottPart-time firemen working fewer than 24 hours a week will receive transitional protection at the point of change if their benefit income under income support is lower than that under supplementary benefit. This includes protection against a reduction in entitlement arising from the change in the disregard of earnings. For those entitled to income support and a transitional addition, the amount of the addition will not be affected by fluctuating earnings. Those receiving only a transitional addition will have that addition reduced by any increase in income.
