193: No reduction in certain cases

You could also call this:

“This rule about keeping benefits the same in some cases no longer exists”

This part of the law used to say something about not reducing benefits in certain cases. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took this part out on 1 April 2020. This means it no longer applies and you don’t need to worry about it anymore.
