(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Attendance Allowance) (No. 2) Regulations 1975 in so far as they relate to children. They provide that the second of the night-time conditions for entitlement to an attendance allowance, as amended by section 1 of the Social Security Act 1988 (c. 7), is to apply in relation to children only where the requirements of the child are substantially in excess of those normally required by a child of the same age and sex.
1975 c. 14; Schedule 20 is cited because of the meaning ascribed to the words"Prescribed" and"Regulations".
See the Social Security Act 1980 (c. 30), section 10 and Schedule 3, Part II, paragraph 12(3).
S.I. 1975/598; there are no amendments relevant to the provisions of this regulation.
