The Scotland Act 2016 (Social Security) (Disability Living Allowance) (Amendment) Regulations 2023
Section 71 of the Scotland Act 2016 (c. 11) (“the Act”) allows the Secretary of State, by regulations, to make such consequential provision in connection with any provision of Parts 1 and 3 to 6 of the Act as the Secretary of State considers appropriate. These Regulations make further provision consequential upon the introduction of Child Disability Payment (“CDP”) pursuant to Part 3 of the Act (welfare benefits and employment support). CDP is the equivalent in Scotland to Disability Living Allowance in respect of children (“DLAC”). DLAC remains payable in the rest of the United Kingdom.
