Transferring to Scottish disability benefits

CPAG in Scotland

A new system of Scottish disability benefits is replacing personal independence payment (PIP), disability living allowance (DLA) and attendance allowance (AA) for people living in Scotland. Child disability payment has completely replaced DLA for children. Adult disability payment is replacing PIP for new claimants and existing PIP claimants are in the process of being transferred. Next along is pension age disability payment, replacing attendance allowance and scheduled to start in autumn 2024. 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 the Scottish disability benefits

Advising on the transfer of existing claimants from PIP, DLA and AA

Other ‘crossover’ issues eg, what happens if you are waiting for a PIP or AA appeal and want to claim a Scottish disability benefit

Age transitions – disability benefit from age 16/18 and from pension age
