These Regulations make transitional provision in relation to the introduction of employment and support allowance and apply to persons entitled to any existing award (which is defined in Schedule 4 to the Welfare Reform Act 2007 in terms of incapacity benefit, severe disablement allowance and income support on grounds of disability). The Regulations set out the process for determining whether existing awards are to be converted into awards of an employment and support allowance. An award may be converted only if certain conditions are satisfied in relation to the person entitled to the award.
