  "text": "These Regulations amend the Social Security Benefit (Persons Abroad) Regulations 1975 (the principal regulations). Both the Social Security Advisory Committee and the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council have agreed to the regulations being made without a reference of proposals in this respect and the regulations are made without being referred to either body.\nRegulation 2 amends regulation 2(1)(bb) of the principal regulations to add invalidity benefit to the category of benefit a person is not disqualified from receiving where his incapacity for work is the result of an industrial injury and his absence from Great Britain is for the specific purpose of receiving treatment for the injury.\nRegulation 3 amends regulation 10C of the principal regulations in the case of a person who sustains an industrial accident or contracts a prescribed disease outside Great Britain, and is a person in respect of whom Class 1 contributions are payable by virtue of regulation 120 of the Social Security (Contributions) Regulations 1979 or who is paying Class 2 contributions as a volunteer development worker under Case G of those regulations. The amendment confers the same right to benefit, from the date of his return to Great Britain, as in the case of an employed earner who has sustained an accident or disease in this country.",
