Adult Disability Payment has now replaced PIP for new claimants living in Scotland
People in Scotland can no longer make a new claim for Personal Independence Payment as it has been replaced by Adult Disability Payment, a similar but devolved benefit only available to people living north of the border. The new benefit is for adults over 16 and under State Pension age living with a disability, long-term illness or a physical or mental health condition.
Of this total, 3,135 people were new applicants and 335 were people who had their PIP award transferred from the DWP. The biggest change is the removal of face-to-face assessments, something the Scottish Government guidance clarifies in an online Adult Disability Payment Q&A factsheet. The Scottish Government stated in a new impact assessment published in June that it is also “working to ensure that individual consultations are as transparent as possible”.
