Data Protection Impact Assessment

The Disability Assistance for Older People (Scotland) Regulations 2024

Version date

17 April 2024

Background

These Regulations make provision to establish Pension Age Disability Payment, which will be delivered by Social Security Scotland on behalf of Scottish Ministers and will replace Attendance Allowance in Scotland. Attendance Allowance for people in Scotland is currently delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions on behalf of Scottish Ministers under an agency agreement.

The Regulations also make provision to enable the transfer of entitlement for those in receipt of Attendance Allowance in Scotland.

This Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) works in conjunction with the Article 36(4) ICO consultation form submitted in advance of this, as the proposal requires consultation with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
