5 Supplementary provision relating to persons moving to state pension credit: time for claiming and part-week payments
(1) Where a person who is not entitled to an award of state pension credit is issued with a tax credit closure notice then, notwithstanding anything in regulation 19(2) (time for claiming benefit) of the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987, the prescribed times for making a claim for state pension credit are as follows— (a) if the person is claiming in respect of a period that begins before the deadline day specified in that notice, the first day of that period; (b) if the person is claiming in respect of a period that begins on the deadline day, within three months beginning with the deadline day. (2) Where, by virtue of paragraph (1), state pension credit is awarded from a day which is not the first day of a benefit week then, notwithstanding anything in regulation 16A of those Regulations, entitlement shall begin on the first day of the award and the amount payable in respect of that part-week shall be determined by— (a) dividing by 7 the weekly amount which would be payable in respect of the full week; and then (b) multiplying the resulting figure by the number of days in the part-week. (3) But paragraph (2) does not apply if the claimant’s entitlement to state pension credit is unlikely to continue throughout the first full benefit week that follows the part-week. (4) In this regulation— “benefit week” means— where state pension credit is paid in advance, the period of 7 days beginning on the day on which, in the claimant’s case, that benefit would (if not for paragraph (2)) be payable; where state pension credit is paid in arrears, the period of 7 days ending on the day on which, in the claimant’s case, that benefit would (if not for paragraph (2)) be payable; and “tax credit closure notice” means a notice issued under article 3A (tax credit closure notice) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012 (Commencement No. 32 and Savings and Transitional Provisions) Order 2019.

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.
