Adult disability payment - an introduction

CPAG in Scotland

Adult disability payment (ADP) is a benefit for working-age adults in Scotland who have extra care needs or mobility difficulties because of a disability. Getting an award of ADP can significantly increase income and so it is a crucial benefit for advisers and others to know about. This introductory level course will give you an understanding of the main rules, help you to identify people who may be entitled and help them make successful applications.

The course covers:

Who is entitled to ADP

How to claim

How the ADP assessment works

How personal independence payment claimants are transferred to ADP

This course is aimed at those with little or no experience of ADP.
