EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Disabled Persons (Badges for Motor Vehicles) (Scotland) Regulations 2000 (“the 2000 Regulations”). Those Regulations deal with what is known as the “blue badge” scheme.

Regulation 4 of the 2000 Regulations is amended to create a new category of disabled person who may be eligible for a blue badge. The new category covers a person who has a mental disorder as defined by section 328 of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003 and who is in receipt of—

(a)the highest or middle rate of the care component of disability living allowance;

(b)attendance allowance; or

(c)personal independence payment and who has been assessed as having severely limited ability or limited ability to carry out certain of the daily living activities prescribed in Part 2 of Schedule 1 to the Social Security (Personal Independence Payment) Regulations 2013.

Regulation 6 of the 2000 Regulations is amended so as to provide that blue badges issued to persons in the new category mentioned above are valid for 1 year.
