Regulation 53 Individuals in respect of whom Adult Disability Payment is paid at the time of moving to another part of the United Kingdom
Where the Scottish Ministers become aware that an individual who is entitled to Adult Disability Payment has moved or is to move to become resident in another part of the United Kingdom, the individual is to be treated as though the individual meets the condition under regulation 15(1)(a) of being ordinarily resident in Scotland for a period of 13 weeks beginning in accordance with paragraph (4).
Subject to Part 8 (effect of time spent in care homes, hospital and legal detention), where the Scottish Ministers become aware that an individual has moved or is to move to another part of the United Kingdom 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 Adult Disability Payment is to terminate.
Where before the end of the 13-week period, the Scottish Ministers become aware that the individual is no longer to move to become resident in another part of the United Kingdom, the duty in paragraph (2) does not apply.
The 13-week period mentioned in paragraph (1) begins on the date the individual ceases to be ordinarily resident in Scotland.
On the day after the 13-week period specified in paragraph (4) ends—
entitlement to Adult Disability Payment ceases, and
regulation 50 (determination following error – overpayments) applies to any Adult Disability Payment paid to an individual in relation to a period after the end of that 13-week period.
