The day appointed for the coming into force of sections 81 to 85 (carer’s allowance: temporary provision, inalienability of assistance and information-sharing) of the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 is 3rd September 2018.

That day is also appointed for section 76 (code of practice on investigations) of that Act to come into force, but only so far as is necessary for the purpose of enabling the Scottish Ministers to consult publicly on a draft code of practice as required by section 76(3) and to publish a code of practice.
