People on PIP or DLA moving to new disability payments may see other benefits stop
Adult Disability Payment and Child Disability Payment are new health benefits which are replacing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance for Children (DLA for Child) for people living in Scotland. The devolved benefits will provide financial support for young children and those between 16 and State Pension age, who are disabled, have a long-term health condition or have a terminal illness.
People already receiving PIP and DLA for Child from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) do not need to apply for Adult Disability Payment or Child Disability Payment as the migration will be automatic. Case transfers from DWP to the Social Security Scotland IT system are being carried out in stages with PIP transfers expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
It will take approximately three months to transfer someone’s award to the devolved welfare system and Social Security Scotland said it will write to people to inform them when to expect their first Adult Disability Payment or Child Disability Payment along with other important information including how to ensure they continue to receive any other benefits from DWP or HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
