People making a claim for Adult or Child Disability Payment can now use new supporting information option
The Scottish Government has announced that third sector organisations are to be paid a fee for helping provide supporting information for people applying for Child Disability Payment or Adult Disability Payment. The £33.50 fee will be paid when they are asked by Social Security Scotland to complete a supporting information request form.
As well as information from health and social care professions, information could also come from charities and third sector organisations who support disabled people. If disabled people need additional help to apply for Scottish Government benefits the free and independent Advocacy Service, provided by VoiceAbility, helps people throughout the whole of the process, from the point of application, through to any request for redetermination and appeal.
“We are committed to making sure everyone gets the financial support they are entitled to and we actively work to encourage take-up of Scottish Government social security benefits by promoting our 13 benefits, collaborating with various organisations and removing barriers to access.” Independent GPs, and those employed by independent GP practices, also get a fee when they are asked to provide information.
