People making a new ADP claim this month could get backdated payments before February

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The lates statistics from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of July, some 314,495 people were receiving Adult Disability Payment (ADP), the devolved benefit that has now replaced all new claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) north of the border.

Of that total figure, 115,035 (37%) were new applicants and 199,460 (63%) had their PIP award transferred from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).

Nearly 126,300 existing PIP claimants are still receiving payments from DWP and will move to the devolved benefits system by the end of 2025.

One new piece of data that will be of interest to many is that the average time to process a new claim for ADP is now an average of 61 working days, an increase from 49 recorded in April.
