  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations 1985.\nRegulation 2 provides for an assessment of disablement in respect of occupational deafness to have effect for the claimant’s life and makes a consequential revocation of regulation 33 of the principal Regulations. It also revokes regulations 30 to 32 of the principal Regulations which deal with supersession, revision or appeal of assessments for occupational deafness.\nRegulation 3 revises the list of occupations in relation to which hearing loss is a prescribed disease.\nRegulation 4 makes transitional provision, principally so that the amendments to Schedule 1 of the principal Regulations do not apply to claims in respect of hearing loss made, or treated as made, before these Regulations come into force.\nThese Regulations do not impose any costs on business.",
