MDA correction for area QNH

Can anyone point me to the Jepp reference to this?
AIP DAP 1-3 states

1.11 -AIP ENR 1.5 para 5.3.3 advises that "Where the forecast area QNH is used, the minima used must be increased by 50FT".
All ASA instrument approach procedures include this adjustment where a regular TAF service is not available(AIP GEN 3.5 para 16). No adjustment is necessary to meet the requirement of AIP for those aerodromes.
When an aerodrome receives a regular TAF service and the TAF is not available the AlP paragraph is applicable
.

(For info AIP GEN 3.5 para 16 lists those aerodromes that DO have a TAF available)

And if no reference is provided in Jepp does this mean that the 50 ft need not be applied as the Jepp forecast minima is the same as the DAP minima?
