Commentary on Sections Part 4: Personal independence payment Section 90: Abolition of disability living allowance
407.Section 90 provides for the repeal of sections 71 to 76 of SSCBA 1992, which are the key provisions relating to disability living allowance. It does not provide for the immediate abolition of disability living allowance and will be brought into force on such day as the Secretary of State may appoint in accordance with section 140(3). There is no time period in which the disability living allowance provisions must be repealed, it will be done as and when the entire caseload moves over to personal independence payment.
