PIP payment warning to people due to move from DWP to ADP this year

dailyrecord.co.uk:

The latest statistics from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of October, some 374,655 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, some 130,450 (35%) were new claimants and 244,205 (63%) were existing PIP case transfers from the Department for Work Pensions (DWP).There are also 80,272 Scots still receiving PIP from the DWP, but scheduled to transfer to ADP before the end of this year.

Thai will bring the total number of people in claim for the devolved benefit to 454,927 and looks set to reach half a million in 2025.

People due to move will receive notification of the move around three months before the date of the transfer. After the move from the DWP to Social Security Scotland is complete, they will receive a letter informing them that the transfer was successful with details of their new ADP award such as level of award for both components, weekly rates and when the first payment will be made.
