63 The IBSS amount: IBSS-registered affected persons
(1) Subject to paragraphs (2A) and (3), the IBSS amount for an IBSS-registered affected person (“A”) is an annual amount for the Part 5 period (other than the IBSS transfer year) of 75% of the relevant IBSS category amount (but see regulation 60(7) which makes provision for uprating). (2) “The relevant IBSS category amount”, in relation to A, is the amount specified in column 3 of the table in regulation 62 corresponding to the payment category described in column 1 of that table which applied to A’s deceased partner (“I”) on 31st March 2025, or, if I was not an IBSS-registered infected person on 31st March 2025, would have applied to I on that date by virtue of I being an IBSS-registered infected person. (2A) Subject to paragraph (3), where, at the beginning of a year during the Part 5 period other than the IBSS transfer year, A is in a recent bereavement period, the IBSS amount is the sum of— (a) (B ÷ 12) × M, where— (i) “B” is A’s relevant IBSS category amount; (ii) “M” is the number of months during the year during which E is in a recent bereavement period, and (b) ((B ÷ 12) × 0.75) × N, where— (i) “B” is A’s relevant IBSS category amount; (ii) “N” is the number of months during the year during which E is not in a recent bereavement period. (3) Where A— (a) is registered under the England Infected Blood Support Scheme, and (b) immediately before the IBSS transfer date, an annual amount of £18,000 was being paid in relation to A by virtue of the fact that the IBSS payment category that applied, or would have applied, to I on 31st March 2025 was “Hepatitis C stage 1”, the annual amount determined in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2A) may not be less than £18,000 for any year of the Part 5 period.

How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
