Following the launch of the Adult Disability Payment in Dundee, Perth and Kinross and the Western Isles in March, Social Security Scotland has published its Decision Making Guidance for those making a new claim for the benefit which will start to replace Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for more than 305,000 existing claimants this year.
The guidance is designed to help case managers make decisions on new and existing Adult Disability Payment cases. However, this is draft guidance and is subject to change as the phased rollout of Adult Disability Payment continues ahead of the national launch on August 29, 2022.
The next pilot areas to open for applications from new claimants will be in Angus, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire on June 20.
