Adult Disability Payment (ADP) is set to replace Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for more than 305,000 claimants living in Scotland from this summer.
Social Security Scotland launched an initial pilot scheme of the disability benefit for new claimants in March which will be followed by a phased rollout across all 32 local council authority areas until August 29, 2022.
PIP is currently delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and is a benefit for adults of working age with a disability, long-term illness or physical or mental health condition. Claimants receive between £23.70 and £152.15 each week to cover extra daily living costs and mobility needs.
