  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations 1985 (SI 1985/967) which prescribe diseases for which industrial injuries benefit is payable.\nRegulation 2 amends prescribed disease A11 by adding sensorineural symptoms to the description of the disease and a proviso that both sets of symptoms are caused by vibration and by providing that the prescription shall not cover blanching of the skin or sensorineural symptoms prior to employment in a prescribed occupation. It also amends the description of the occupation involving hand-held chain saws.\nRegulation 3 makes transitional provision so that the amendments relating to blanching do not apply to a period of assessment which relates to a claim made, or having effect, before the date these Regulations come into force or to a renewed break-out of a condition for which a claim was made before these Regulations come into force.\nA full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.",
