The Disability Assistance (Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance) Regulations 2025: business and regulatory impact assessment

16. Summary and Recommendations

In summary, the Scottish Government has identified evidence that the introduction of Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance will constitute an investment into the Scottish economy. It is anticipated that these funds could support many to remain in or take up employment and will be used to pay for care, goods and services. Therefore businesses could benefit from the introduction of Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance.

Any impact to businesses as a result of these regulations should be positive or neutral in the long term. The Scottish Government has worked closely with stakeholders to develop the policy and will continue to do so during the case transfer process and beyond.
