| Overview and purpose | (see TCTM01000) |
| Entitlement | (see TCTM02000) |
| Maximum rates | (see TCTM03000) |
| Income | (see TCTM04000) |
| Change of circumstances | (see TCTM05000) |

These sections are in line with the law at the time of writing (April 2008). Other changes to legislation made later in the year, and any appropriate additional sections, will be incorporated at the earliest opportunity. In the interim, reference may need to be made to appropriate Statutory Instruments.
