# The Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 1991, Paragraph 1: Revision or supersession of an award made before person attained 65


(1) This paragraph applies where–
(a) a person is aged 65 or over;
(b) the person has an award of disability living allowance made before he attained the age of 65;
(c) an application is made in accordance with section 9 of the 1998 Act or section 10 of that Act for that award to be revised or superseded; and
(d) an adjudicating authority is satisfied that the decision awarding disability living allowance ought to be revised or superseded.
(2) Where paragraph (1) applies, the person to whom the award relates shall not, subject to paragraph (3), be precluded from entitlement to either component of disability living allowance solely by reason of the fact that he is aged 65 or over when the revision or supersession is made.
(3) Where the adjudicating authority determining the application ... is satisfied that the decision ought to be superseded on the ground that there has been a relevant change of circumstances since the decision was given, paragraph (2) shall apply only where the relevant change of circumstances occurred before the person attained the age of 65.
