224: Limited application of additional dependent child rules

You could also call this:

“Special rules for extra children no longer exist”

This part of the law used to explain when special rules for additional dependent children would apply. However, it has been removed from the law. The government decided to take it out on 8 November 2021. This means these rules no longer exist in the current version of the Social Security Act 2018.
