Transferring to Scottish disability benefits
CPAG in Scotland
A 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. Starting in some pilot areas in autumn 2024, full roll-out begins from April 2025.
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.
