These regulations amend the Social Security (Adjudication) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1987 (“the principal regulations”) and are consequential upon the coming into operation of the Disability Living Allowance and Disability Working Allowance (Northern Ireland) Order 1991. They make in relation to Northern Ireland only provision corresponding to provision contained in regulations made by the Secretary of State for Social Security in relation to Great Britain and accordingly, by virtue of section 10(2) of, and paragraph 21 of Schedule 3 to, the Social Security Act 1980 (c. 30), are not subject to the requirement of section 10(1) of that Act for prior reference to the Social Security Advisory Committee.
