# The Social Security (Electronic Communications) (Miscellaneous Benefits) Order (Northern Ireland) 2006, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Social Security (Claims and Payments) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the Claims and Payments Regulations”) to make provision for claims for attendance allowance, disability living allowance, graduated retirement benefit, retirement pension and shared additional pension to be made electronically.
Article 2 inserts regulation 4ZA into the Claims and Payments Regulations to provide for the use of electronic communication to make a claim for those benefits and to provide any certificate, notice, information or evidence connected with such a claim, subject to certain conditions being satisfied. It also inserts Schedule 8D into the Claims and Payments Regulations which sets out those conditions.
