# The Housing Grants (Assessment of Contributions) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2007, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make amendments consequential upon the coming into force of section 61 of the Welfare Reform Act 2007 (c. 5). Section 61 amends the Disability (Grants) Act 1993 to enable the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to make grants to the Independent Living Fund (2006) which from 1st October 2007 will operate in place of the Independent Living (Extension) Fund and the Independent Living (1993) Fund.
These Regulations amend the Housing Grants (Assessment of Contributions) (Scotland) Regulations 2003. Those Regulations provide a means of assessment of an applicant’s contribution to the cost of works for which certain grants may be given by a local authority. These Regulations insert a definition of “Independent Living Fund (2006)” and include this fund in the definition of “the Independent Living Funds”.
