# The Social Security (Attendance Allowance and Disability Living Allowance) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Attendance Allowance) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2740) (“the Attendance Allowance Regulations”), the Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2890) (“the Disability Living Allowance Regulations”) and the Social Security (Adjudication) Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/1801) (“the Adjudication Regulations”).
These Regulations make provision in the Attendance Allowance Regulations and the Disability Living Allowance Regulations so that a person awarded attendance allowance or disability living allowance may be required to submit to a medical examination, and where he fails without good cause to do so, for benefit to be withheld (regulations 2 and 3); and make provision in the Adjudication Regulations to enable the adjudication officer to treat failure to attend for, or submit to, a medical examination in attendance allowance and disability living allowance cases as a relevant change of circumstances (regulation 4).
These Regulations do not impose a charge on business.
