Power to increase amount of carer’s allowance supplement
8.Section 2 inserts a new subsection (4C) into section 81 of the 2018 Act. The new subsection confers a regulation-making power on the Scottish Ministers to modify section 81 of that Act so as to provide that the amount of a carer’s allowance supplement in respect of a specified future period is an amount greater than the amount calculated according to the formula in subsection (4) of that section. This regulation-making power is subject to the affirmative procedure.
