This section has no associated Explanatory Memorandum
15B.—(1) Where C makes a claim for personal independence payment (“the new claim”) and had a previous award for Scottish adult disability living allowance, which ended not more than 2 years before the date on which the new claim is made, and C has not been entitled to a personal independence payment on any day since the end of the award of Scottish adult disability living allowance, and was aged 64 years old or younger on 20 June 2016, paragraphs (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) apply.
(2) In relation to determination of entitlement under the new claim—
(a)the prescribed date for the purposes of regulations 12(1)(a) and (2)(a) and 13(1)(a) and (2)(a) is the date on which the previous award ended where that award was in respect of Scottish adult disability living allowance; and
(b)regulations 12(1)(b) and (2)(b) and 13(1)(b) and (2)(b) have effect in relation to the new claim as if for the words “the prescribed date” there were substituted “the date on which the new claim for personal independence payment is made”.
(3) Where C is awarded either or both components under the new claim, in relation to continued entitlement to that component or, as the case may be, those components, for the period of 3 months following the date of the new claim—
(a)the prescribed date for the purposes of regulations 12(1)(a) and (2)(a) and 13(1)(a) and (2)(a) is the date on which the previous award ended where that award was in respect of Scottish adult disability living allowance; and
(b)regulations 12(1)(b) and (2)(b) and 13(1)(b) and (2)(b) have effect in relation to that award as if for words “the prescribed date” there were substituted “each day of the award”.
(4) C is to be regarded as meeting such of the conditions contained in the following provisions of these Regulations (as modified by paragraphs (2) and (3) above) as are relevant to C’s new claim, regardless of whether those conditions have been met—
(a)regulation 12(1)(a) or (2)(a) (required period condition: daily living component);
(b)regulation 13(1)(a) or (2)(a) (required period condition: mobility component).
(5) This regulation is subject to regulation 26A (claim for personal independence payment after an award of Scottish adult disability living allowance and after reaching the relevant age).
(6) Where C makes the new claim during the 13 week period provided for in regulation 48 of the Disability Assistance (Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 2025, for the purpose of this regulation the previous award of Scottish adult disability living allowance is to be treated as having ended immediately before C made the new claim.]

Impact Assessments
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
