EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Social Security (Personal Independence Payment) Regulations 2013 to insert a provision into regulation 4. The provision requires that, when a claimant is being assessed for personal independence payment under those Regulations, that assessment must take into account whether the claimant can do the activity safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and within a reasonable time period.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the private sector or civil society organisations.
