Where a disablement pension with unemployability supplement is increased in respect of a child or children, and the beneficiary is one of two persons who are spouses residing together or an unmarried couple, paragraph 4(4) of Schedule 7 to the Social Security Contributions and Benefits (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 provides that the increase shall not be payable in respect of the first child if the other person’s earnings are £160 a week or more and in respect of a further child for each complete £20 by which the earnings exceed £160. This Order substitutes the amount of £165 for the amount of £160 and the amount of £21 for the amount of £20.
