The new Adult Disability Payment (ADP) will begin to replace Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for approximately 305,000 Scots in 2022, with the benefit opening to new applicants in three Scottish council areas starting March 21.
The introduction of the devolved benefit means that, starting Monday, people of working age living in Dundee City, Perth and Kinross or the Western Isles council areas who have a disability or physical or mental health condition can apply for financial support.
As reported by the Daily Record, ADP will be administered through Social Security Scotland rather than the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
