The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed that from August 29, 2022, people living in Scotland should no longer make a new claim for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), but instead apply for the Adult Disability Payment (ADP) through Social Security Scotland.
Adult Disability Payment will replace PIP for more than 305,000 existing Scottish claimants.
Social Security Scotland started a phased launch of the new benefit on March 21 and it is now available to new claimants of working age with a disability, long-term illness or physical or mental health condition, living in Dundee, Perth and Kinross and the Western Isles.
