  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations make consequential and transitional provision in connection with the introduction of a new form of disability assistance, known as Scottish adult disability living allowance, under section 31 of the Social Security (Scotland) Act 2018 (“the 2018 Act”). Scottish adult disability living allowance is provided for by the Disability Assistance (Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 2025, along with an associated form of short-term assistance under section 36 of the 2018 Act that is payable in certain circumstances when an individual’s award of Scottish adult disability living allowance is under review within the meaning of schedule 10 of that Act.\nRegulations 2 to 21 make consequential amendments to secondary legislation in connection with the introduction of Scottish adult disability living allowance. The amendments ensure that individuals who are entitled to Scottish adult disability living allowance have the same entitlements and disregards under that legislation as individuals who are entitled to Disability Living Allowance payable under the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. Scottish adult disability living allowance will replace Disability Living Allowance in Scotland for a closed cohort of recipients who are over the age of 18 and who were not transferred onto Personal Independence Payment at, or following, the introduction of Personal Independence Payment on 08 April 2013.\nThese Regulations also make provision to revoke and save the Disability Assistance for Working Age People (Transitional Provisions and Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 subject to savings provisions. The Disability Assistance for Working Age People (Transitional Provisions and Miscellaneous Amendment) (Scotland) Regulations 2022 set out provisions for transferring the awards of individuals in Scotland and currently in receipt of Disability Living Allowance, who were over 16 and under 65 and in receipt of Disability Living Allowance at the introduction of Personal Independence Payment on 08 April 2013, to Social Security Scotland and onto Adult Disability Payment.\nNo business and regulatory impact assessment has been prepared for these Regulations as no impact upon business, charities or voluntary bodies is foreseen.",
