Adult Disability Payment (ADP) is set to replace Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for new claimants in seven more council areas this month, following on from the recent launch in Angus, North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire at the end of June.

More than 313, 600 existing PIP claimants in Scotland will start to transfer from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) system to Social Security Scotland this summer, in a move predicted to be completed by the end of summer 2024.

The rollout of the new benefit means that people of working age with a disability, long-term illness or physical or mental health condition, living in Fife, Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Moray, North Ayrshire, East Ayrshire or South Ayrshire can apply directly for financial support from the Scottish Government from July 25.

If you live elsewhere in Scotland and Adult Disability Payment hasn't opened in your area or appears on the rollout schedule, you can apply from August 29.
