Transferring to Scottish disability benefits
CPAG in Scotland
This event is in the past
There are two new Scottish disability benefits: child disability payment and adult disability payment. These replace disability living allowance (DLA) and personal independence payment (PIP) for people who live in Scotland. This course will help you advise confidently with an understanding of which rules are different or new, how the transfer process works, tactics when there is an existing appeal, and more.
The course covers:
Understanding new and different rules in child disability payment and adult disability payment
Advising on the transfer of existing claimants from DLA and PIP
Other ‘crossover’ issues: eg, what happens if you are waiting for a PIP or DLA appeal and want to claim a Scottish disability benefit
Age transitions - disability benefit from age 16/18 and from pension age
