# The Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations.)
These Regulations further amend the Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1992. They provide for a further exemption from the provisions of regulation 12A of those Regulations (hospitalisation in mobility component cases) (as inserted by regulation 4(3) of the Social Security (Disability Living Allowance, Attendance Allowance and Claims and Payments) (Amendment) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1996) by providing that certain persons residing in hospices shall continue to receive the mobility component of disability living allowance.
These Regulations make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in Regulations made by the Secretary of State for Social Security in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 149(3) of, and paragraph 10 of Schedule 5 to, the Social Security Administration (Northern Ireland) Act 1992 (c. 8), are not subject to the requirement of section 149(2) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
