The Social Security (Residence in an EEA State or Switzerland) (Amendment) Regulations 2025
These Regulations amend the Social Security (Invalid Care Allowance) Regulations 1976 (S.I. 1976/409), the Social Security (Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 1991 (S.I. 1991/2890) and the Social Security (Personal Independence Payment) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/377). They reflect that claimants, to whom a relevant EU regulation applied on 31st December 2020 (the date of the end of the transition period following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU), maintain their rights to carer’s allowance, the care component of disability living allowance and the daily living component of personal independence payment subject to certain conditions. The individual must have continuously received these benefits since 31st December 2020, and they must not have been habitually resident in the United Kingdom on or after that date. These regulations do not create a ground for new claims but provide a legislative basis to continue paying benefits already in payment.
