The Disability Assistance for Older People (Consequential Amendment and Transitional Provision) (Scotland) Regulations 2024
These Regulations make consequential and transitional provision in connection with the introduction of a new form of disability assistance, known as pension age disability payment, under section 31 of the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 (“the 2018 Act”). Pension age disability payment is provided for by the Disability Assistance for Older People (Scotland) Regulations 2024 (“the Pension Age Disability Payment Regulations”), along with an associated form of short-term assistance under section 36 of the 2018 Act that is payable in certain circumstances when an individual’s award of pension age disability payment is under review within the meaning of schedule 10 of that Act.
