The latest statistics from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of January, some 192,575 people were in receipt of Adult Disability Payment (ADP).

That figure includes 83,199 new applicants and 109,385 existing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) case transfers from the Department for Work Pensions (DWP).

The average time to process a new claim for ADP has fallen from 83 working days in October 2023 to 59 working days in January 2024.
