What is Adult Disability Payment Scotland?
Adult Disability Payment is a benefit for adults with disabilities who live in Scotland.
It replaced Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for adults who live in Scotland.
Some people in Scotland who already get DLA will be transferred to Scottish Adult DLA instead. Even if you have been given an indefinite or lifetime award of DLA. Some people born on or after 9 April 1948 may have had their award moved to Adult Disability Payment.
