These regulations contain provisions relating to severe disablement allowance (“allowance”). They are all either made under section 36 of the Social Security Act 1975, as substituted by section 11 of the Health and Social Security Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”), or are otherwise consequential on section 11 . As they are also made earlier than six months from the first day appointed for the coming into force of section 11 (10th September 1984), they are exempted by section 22(1)(b) of the 1984 Act from the requirement under section 10(1) of the Social Security Act 1980 to refer proposals to the Social Security Advisory Committee and are made without reference to that Committee.
