Starting Monday, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will begin to be replaced by the new Adult Disability Payment (ADP) in Scotland.
The benefit will be launched in three council areas — Dundee City, Perth and Kinross or the Western Isles — for new claimants beginning today
People under the State Pension age who have a disability or a long-term physical or mental health condition living in these areas will now be able to apply for financial assistance through Social Security Scotland rather than the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
