Adult Disability Payment (ADP) will replace Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for more than 305,000 people living in Scotland this year, having already opened to new applicants in Dundee City, Perth and Kinross and the Western Isles in March as part of a pilot launch programme.
The next council areas to open for applications from new claimants will be in Angus, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire on June 20.
The Scottish Government has said Adult Disability Payment will bring many positive changes to people applying for disability assistance for the first time and those already receiving PIP or Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
