Child Disability Payment decision making guide
When an individual applying for CDP on behalf of a child dies after an application is submitted and before a determination is made
When Social Security Scotland are made aware that the person applying for CDP on behalf of a child has died, the bereavement team will confirm the death.
For the application to proceed once the bereavement team have confirmed that the person applying on behalf of the child has died, the case manager must establish who is best placed to act on the child’s behalf. The case manager should refer to the Managing assistance on behalf of a child chapter for further information on this.
