These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Adjudication) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1801) and the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987 (S.I. 1987/1968) in the following respects:
they alter the period over which reviews are backdated in certain cases in respect of claims for attendance allowance and disability living allowance (regulation 2) and income support and jobseeker’s allowance (regulations 3 and 4);
they specify the circumstances in which a claim for a dependant’s increase of severe disablement allowance or invalid care allowance is treated as made on an earlier date (regulation 5);
they specify further circumstances in which the time for claiming disability working allowance may be extended (regulation 6);
they make special transitional provision for backdating reviews of attendance allowance and disability living allowance in certain cases (regulation 7).
These Regulations replace the Social Security (Claims and Payments and Adjudication) Amendment Regulations 1997 (S.I. 1997/2239), which are revoked because of a technical defect in the commencement provision; the revocation is provided for in regulation 8.
These Regulations do not impose any costs on business.
