When an increase in level of entitlement takes effect

This section has no associated Policy Notes

28.—(1) Where, as a result of a determination without an application, the amount of Child Disability Payment payable in respect of an individual is increased or their entitlement to a component is awarded, the changed entitlement begins—

(a)in the case of an increase pursuant to a determination made under regulation 31(d) (determination following change of circumstances etc.) on the day after the day on which Disability Living Allowance ceased to be paid in respect of the individual,

(b)in the case of an award of entitlement to a component or an increase pursuant to a determination made in accordance with regulation 31(a) as a result of the individual reporting a change that affects their eligibility under regulation 11 (care component criterion: lowest, middle or highest rate of care component), 12 (mobility requirements: lower rate mobility component) or 13 (mobility requirements: higher rate mobility component), on the date when—

(i)if the individual reports the change within one month of the change occurring, the individual first satisfies the requirements for a higher rate of the care or mobility component,

(ii)if the individual reports the change more than one month but not more than 13 months of the change occurring, the individual first satisfies the requirements for a higher rate of the care or mobility component, but only if the Scottish Ministers consider that the individual had good reason for not notifying the change within one month, or

(iii)in any other case, the individual reports the change.

(c)in the case of an earlier determination which was based on official error within the meaning of regulation 32 (determination following official error - underpayments) or on error within the meaning of regulation 33 (determination following error – overpayments), begins on the date when the earlier determination took effect, or

(d)in any other case, on the date when Scottish Ministers make the determination.

(2) Where the Scottish Ministers consider that in all the circumstances it would be unjust not to do so, they may, when making their determination, set an earlier date for the purposes of paragraph 1(b), (c) or (d).

(3) This regulation does not apply to an individual to whom regulation 15 (entitlement under special rules for terminal illness) applies.
