Part 2: Disability additional payments Section 5: Disability additional payments
Section 5 provides that the Secretary of State is to make a payment of £150 to a person entitled to a payment of a qualifying disability benefit in respect of a qualifying day.
	Subsection (2) defines the disability benefits that can qualify a person for an additional payment.
	Subsection (3) provides for the latest date for the qualifying day in respect of a disability additional payment, and that the date will be specified in regulations. The qualifying date is not the date of payment. Subsection (4) states that these regulations may specify a qualifying day prior to the date the regulations come into force. Subsection (5) provides that where an individual is entitled to more than one disability benefit that would qualify them to an additional payment in respect of the qualifying day, that additional payment shall be made in relation to the first benefit listed in subsection (2) to which the individual is entitled.
