Special rules for over 65s (easements)
If you or your partner are aged 65 or over and neither is getting Income Support, income-based Jobseeker's Allowance or income-related Employment Support Allowance we will:
- Delay making deductions for new non-dependants for 26 weeks.
- Delay increasing deductions for 26 weeks where your non-dependant has a change of circumstances. If the change means deductions reduce, we will reduce them straightaway if you tell us in time.
