Child Disability Payment decision making guide
How to make an application
There are two ways people can apply for Child disability Payment (CDP):
- by completing a full application in the online portal
- by starting an application by phone and by completing part 2 with a paper based application form.
The application method they use does not affect the consideration of their application.
Social Security Scotland’s Local Delivery team are available to help individuals to apply either:
- face-to-face in local delivery offices
- remotely by telephone
Guidance for individuals on making an application for CDP is set out in detail:
- on the Social Security Scotland website
- in leaflets and on the application forms
An individual can contact Social Security:
- to get help with their application
- using the channel they are most comfortable with
