Background

In 2015 it was decided that disability benefits would be controlled by the Scottish Government instead of the UK Government.

In 2022 we started Adult Disability Payment to replace Personal Independence Payment in Scotland.

This means that disability benefits for adults Social Security Scotland pays people instead of the UK Government.

We have made changes to Adult Disability Payment to make it easier to access after talking to people who have experience of receiving disability benefits.
