26A.—(1) The Scottish Ministers may decide that an individual who has an ongoing entitlement to Child Disability Payment in respect of a period by virtue of regulation 26 is not to become entitled to be given some or all of either component or both components of that assistance at the time at which the individual otherwise would in accordance with that regulation, as read with regulation 25 (time of payment) (referred to in these Regulations as a decision to suspend the individual’s Child Disability Payment).
