dailyrecord.co.ukThe latest figures from Social Security Scotland show that by the end of January 2023, some 23,660 people across Scotland were receiving Adult Disability Payment (ADP).
The new devolved benefit is replacing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for existing claimants aged under 65 on April 8, 2013.
The benefit replaced PIP for new claims at the end of August last year and is designed to help cover the extra costs for someone living with a disability, having a long-term health condition (physical or mental) or a terminal illness.
From April 10, a successful claim for PIP or ADP is now worth between £26.90 and £172.75 each week in additional financial support and as the benefit is paid every four weeks, this amounts to between £107.60 and £691.00 every payment period.
