(1)

Where the Scottish Ministers are notified that an individual who is entitled to Child Disability Payment has moved or is to move to become ordinarily resident in another part of the United Kingdom, the individual is to be treated as though the individual meets the condition of being ordinarily resident in Scotland for a period of 13 weeks beginning with the date of the move.

Subject to Part 5 (effect of time spent in care homes and in legal detention), where the Scottish Ministers receive notification mentioned in paragraph (1), they are to make a determination without application at the end of the 13-week period mentioned in paragraph (1) that the individual’s entitlement to Child Disability Payment is to terminate.

(3)

Where before the end of the 13-week period, the Scottish Ministers are notified that the individual is no longer to move to become ordinarily resident in another part of the United Kingdom, the notification mentioned in paragraph (1) is to be treated as not having been made and the duty in paragraph (2) does not apply.
