# The Carer’s Allowance (Coronavirus) (Breaks in Care) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2020, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations extend the period for which regulation 2 of the Carer’s Allowance (Coronavirus) (Breaks in Care) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 (“the Breaks in Care Regulations”) has effect. The regulation is to have effect until 23:59 on 12 May 2021. They also insert a new regulation 4 into the Breaks in Care Regulations. The new regulation 4 provides that, where a person has received carer’s allowance during a break in care associated with coronavirus, the eventual expiry of regulation 2 does not cause the period covered by the break to be counted against the person’s entitlement to receive carer’s allowance during a break in care which takes place after the expiry.
