# The Personal Independence Payment (Transitional Provisions) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2013, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Personal Independence Payment (Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/387 as amended by S.I. 2013/2231) (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2(2) inserts into the principal Regulations a definition of “relevant date”. This means the date, specified by the Secretary of State in relation to any category of DLA entitled person, from which the Secretary of State is satisfied that satisfactory arrangements will be in place to assess the entitlement of persons in that category to personal independence payment (“PIP”). “DLA entitled person” is defined in regulation 2(1) of the principal Regulations as a person aged 16 or over who is entitled to either or both components of disability living allowance.
Regulation 2(2) also inserts a new regulation 2(4) into the principal Regulations requiring the Secretary of State to publish information sufficient to enable any DLA entitled person to ascertain the relevant date, if any, which applies in their case.
Regulation 2(3) amends regulation 3 of the principal Regulations so that requirements on the Secretary of State to invite a DLA entitled person to claim PIP in certain circumstances do not apply unless the Secretary of State has specified a relevant date which applies in that person’s case and that date has been reached.
Regulation 2(4) substitutes regulation 4 of the principal Regulations so that the option for a DLA entitled person to claim PIP in certain circumstances where they have not been invited to do so does not apply unless the Secretary of State has specified a relevant date which applies in that person’s case and that date has been reached.
Regulation 2(5) amends regulation 22 of the principal Regulations (extinguishment of right to claim DLA) to enable the Secretary of State to continue to issue notifications under that regulation on and after 28th October 2013. Such notifications have the effect of enabling certain DLA entitled persons with a fixed term award to continue in receipt of DLA.
An impact assessment has not been published for this instrument as it has no impact on business or civil society organisations.
