(This note is not part of the Regulations)
Section 15B of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 allows for regulations enabling the Secretary of State to recover the administrative expenses of making payments directly from certain benefits payable to persons with mobility problems, to providers of motor vehicles on lease or hire purchase terms to those persons.
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations 1987 in relation to disability living allowance, and the Universal Credit, Personal Independence Payment, Jobseeker’s Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance (Claims and Payments) Regulations 2013 in relation to personal independence payment. The amendments permit the Secretary of State to issue an invoice annually to recover the administrative expenses incurred in making payments from those benefits to such providers.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has negligible impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
