Adult Disability Payment pilot launching Spring 2022 - new applications only
The three local authority pilot areas are:
Dundee City
Na h-Eileanan Iar (Western Isles)
Perth and Kinross
Adult Disability Payment has been designed to provide extra money to help with the costs of living with a disability and/or long-term health condition and will replace Personal Independence Payment in Scotland, which is currently delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions.
To ensure stakeholders have the relevant information they need to support clients within these areas and prepare their own services Social Security Scotland will be hosting a series of online stakeholder events to provide information on the key Adult Disability Payment topics, as well as answer any queries.
This series of events will cover six different Adult Disability Payment topics which are;
General Adult Disability Payment Policy Overview
Special Rules for Terminal Illness
New Adult Disability Payment Applications
Consultations and Supporting Information (Public Sector)
Consultations and Supporting Information (Third Sector)
Debt, Overpayments and Benefit Suspension
A variety of dates will be available for each themed session. If you would like to find out more information about the events or book a place please click on the appropriate link which can be found at the bottom.
Please note that these events are for stakeholders supporting clients in the Pilot areas only and national organisations. Further events will be held throughout the year to support stakeholders in other locations.
A link to the website with the dates and times of each event is listed below. Please follow the link to book a place on the event you wish to attend. Please also find a document here containing dates and times for each event with a link to our Eventbrite page
