The latest figures from Social Security Scotland show that by the end of October 2022, merely 3,500 people across Scotland were receiving Adult Disability Payment.

The new disability benefit is replacing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for those aged under 65 on April 8, 2013.
