(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Care and Support (Charging and Assessment of Resources) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 2014/2672).

Regulation 2 provides that payments, made under or by a trust established for the purpose of giving relief and assistance to disabled people whose disabilities were caused by the fact that during their pregnancy their mother had taken the drug known as Thalidomide, are to be ignored in the calculation of an adult’s capital for the purpose of an assessment of that adult’s financial resources.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
