  "text": "These regulations amend the Social Security Benefit (Dependency) Regulations 1977 and the Housing Benefits Regulations 1982. They are consequential on Schedule 4 to the Health and Social Security Act 1984 and are made within six months of the commencement of that Schedule, that is 10th September 1984. Accordingly they are, by virtue of section 22(1)(c) of that Act, exempt from the requirement of section 10(1) of the Social Security Act 1980/(c.30) to refer proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.\nSection 11 of, and Schedule 4 to, the 1984 Act provide that non-contributory invalidity pension under section 36 of the Social Security Act 1975 shall be replaced by a new benefit called severe disablement allowance. These regulations substitute, for references to the old benefit in regulations 1(3) and 12(1) of the Social Security Benefit (Dependency) Regulations 1977 and regulation 18(6C) of the Housing Benefits Regulations 1982, references to the new benefit.",
