•Adult disability payment (ADP) is a benefit for adults who live in Scotland with a disability or long-term health condition.

•It has replaced new claims for personal independence payment (PIP) in Scotland. PIP claimants and some disability living allowance claimants living in Scotland are being transferred to ADP.

•ADP has a daily living component and a mobility component. You can qualify for one or both components. Each component has two rates.

•ADP is a non-means-tested benefit.

•You do not need to have paid national insurance contributions to get ADP.

•ADP is disregarded as income for means-tested benefits and tax credits and can be paid in addition to most other benefits.

•ADP is administered and paid by Social Security Scotland.

•If you disagree with a determination about ADP, you can request a redetermination and then appeal against it (see Chapter 81). You must request a redetermination before you can appeal.
