In Scotland, the main disability benefits are being transferred to the Scottish government.

The first new benefit to be introduced is ‘child disability payment’, which is replacing disability living allowance: see 2 to 7 below. ‘Adult disability payment’ will be replacing personal independence payment; pilots are due to take place from 21.3.22, and a full roll out across Scotland is planned from 29.8.22: see 8 to 12 below. There are common rules to these benefits: see 13 to 21 below.

‘Pension age disability payment’ will be replacing attendance allowance from 2023.
