It has been almost a year since Adult Disability Payment (ADP) rolled out nationwide across Scotland and replaced new claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP). Social Security Scotland administers the new devolved payment, which is worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week, for successful claimants.
Social Security Scotland recently confirmed that it is taking an average of four months to process new claims for ADP and work is being urgently done to reduce the journey time. This includes re-deploying staff and bringing in health and social care experts to advise case managers earlier to help speed up decision-making.
