Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Determination of entitlement

An individual will be notified when their application has been received by Social Security Scotland if they have opted to receive notifications.

Those applying for CDP will receive a reminder from Social Security Scotland two weeks before the end of the 6 week period. This is the period when part 1 of the application has been made, but a completed part 2 has not yet been received.

Following the completion of part 1 and 2 of the application, a case manager will make a determination of entitlement. An individual will receive a determination of entitlement on their completed application for CDP in writing.
