People over State Pension age on PIP will see changes to benefit start this summer

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will be replaced by Adult Disability Payment for more than 305, 000 people living in Scotland this year following a phased rollout for new applicants across all 32 local council areas.

Adult Disability Payment is a new payment for working age adults under State Pension age who do not already get disability benefits from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

People who currently receive adult disability benefits through the DWP will have their awards transferred to Social Security Scotland from the end of August, without any interruptions to their award and will not have to apply for Adult Disability payment.
