Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Housing Renovation etc. Grants (Reduction of Grant) Regulations 1990 (“the principal Regulations”) in consequence of the introduction as social security benefits, by the Disability Living Allowance and Disability Working Allowance Act 1991, of disability living allowance and disability working allowance and of the replacement by disability living allowance of mobility allowance and (for people disabled before the age of 65) attendance allowance.

Regulation 2 makes amendments to Schedule 1 to the principal Regulations (applicable amounts) and one amendment to Schedule 3 (sums to be disregarded in the determination of income other than earnings).

Regulation 3 (transitional) provides that the amendments do not apply in respect of any application for a grant made before the date on which these Regulations come into force.
