Beravement Support Payment: Cohabiting Partner
I have been scrolling the bereavement benefits remedial order.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2022/9780348239287/pdfs/ukdsi_9780348239287_en.pdf
I’m struck by the phrase ‘cohabiting partner’.
Setting aside the tautology, I can’t find a definition.
What have I missed?
(I don’t mean SSCBA s137 or WRA 2012 s39, or any of the other variants of this, I mean something context specific)
:-)
Isn’t it in Art 4 para 4 (6B) of the draft order:
(4) After subsection (6), insert—
“(6A) For the purposes of this section, the Secretary of State may by regulations
specify—
(a) circumstances in which the fact that two persons are married to each other, or are
civil partners or cohabiting partners of each other, is to be disregarded;
(b) circumstances in which two persons are to be treated as if they were married to
each other or were civil partners or cohabiting partners of each other;
(c) circumstances in which people are to be treated as being, or as not being, members
of the same household.
(6B) For the purposes of this section, two persons are cohabiting partners if they are not
married to, or civil partners of, each other but are living together as if they were married or
civil partners.
Fantastic Seand. Thank you.
I couldn’t see it for looking.
