(2) For the purposes of this regulation, a decision is referable to an award of disability living allowance if—

(a)it was a decision awarding attendance allowance or mobility allowance to such a person and the decision was terminated or cancelled in accordance with Part II or Part III of these Regulations and replaced by the person’s current award of disability living allowance, or was so terminated or cancelled and replaced by an award of disability living allowance which was itself terminated under regulation 13 and replaced by the person’s current award of disability living allowance; or

(b)it was a decision awarding disability living allowance to such a person which was terminated in accordance with regulation 13 and replaced by the person’s current award of disability living allowance.

(3) A decision is also referable to an award of disability living allowance where it was—
