People are being encouraged to share their views on how a Scottish Government disability benefit supports their mobility needs. The consultation on eligibility for the Adult Disability Payment mobility element will gather evidence to feed into a wider independent review.
Adult Disability Payment, delivered by Social Security Scotland, launched nationwide in August 2022 to replace the UK Government’s Personal Independence Payment (PIP). It provides financial support of between £97.80 and £627.60 every four weeks to people aged 16 and below State Pension age who are disabled, have a long-term health condition or a terminal illness.
Adult Disability Payment is made up of two components. A daily living element for people who experience difficulties with day-to-day activities such as preparing a meal or bathing and a mobility element, which supports people who have difficulties moving around or planning and following journeys.
