Regulation 23A Determination following change in qualifying disability benefit – additional cared for personF1
The Scottish Ministers are to make a determination of an individual’s entitlement to Carer Support, without receiving an application, where the individual—
has ongoing entitlement to Carer Additional Person Payment, and
cares for an additional cared for person whose qualifying disability benefit has—
been reduced to £0,
stopped being payable in the circumstances set out in regulation 23(4)(b) (temporary stop in entitlement), or
been suspended as a result of the circumstances set out in regulation 23(4)(c).
Where a determination is made under paragraph (1), it must determine that the individual is no longer entitled to the Carer Additional Person Payment in respect of the additional cared for person referred to in paragraph (1)(b).
Where paragraph (1)(a), (b)(i) or (b)(ii) applies, the determination comes into effect on the first day of the award week following the award week in which the additional cared for person’s qualifying disability benefit has been reduced to £0 or stopped being payable.
Where paragraph (1)(b)(iii) applies, the determination comes into effect on the first day of the award week following the day on which the additional cared for person’s qualifying disability benefit has been suspended for 4 weeks.
