      "text": "2012 c.5 (“the WRA 2012”). The functions of making provision in regulations in connection with the transition from Disability Living Allowance to the Personal Independence Payment introduced by Part 4 of the WRA 2012, as regards Scotland, transferred to the Scottish Ministers on 1 April 2020. This is both in terms of regulations 3 and 4 of the Scotland Act 2016 (Transitional) Regulations 2017/444, which provide for functions conferred on the Secretary of State by a pre-commencement enactment that would be within the legislative competence of the Scottish Parliament by virtue of exception 1 in reservation F1 in schedule 5 of the Scotland Act 1998 (c.46) (social security schemes) to transfer to the Scottish Ministers on that date; and section 32 of the Scotland Act 2016 (c.11) which provides the meaning of “pre-commencement enactment” in this context. Under section 172(1) of the Social Security Administration Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) the Secretary of State is required to refer regulations to the Social Security Advisory Committee (SSAC) for ‘relevant enactments’, as defined in section 170(5). This includes regulations made under the WRA 2012. However, as a result of section 33(1) of the Scotland Act 2016, the function of the Secretary of State to consult the SSAC has not transferred to Scottish Ministers. There is therefore no requirement for the Scottish Ministers to consult the SSAC before making these regulations."
