Pension age disability payment to act as a qualifying benefit for certain premiums and entitlements in Scotland

New statutory instrument

The Disability Assistance for Older People (Scotland) Regulations 2024 (S.S.I. 2024/166) introduce arrangements for the payment of disability assistance in the form of pension age disability payment. Pension age disability payment replaces attendance allowance in Scotland.

This instrument makes consequential amendments to social security legislation in England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, as the case may be, governing entitlement to certain benefits.
