Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Failure to provide payment details

If a young person has reached the age of 16 and Social Security Scotland have not been notified of their bank details or whether an appointee is required, Social Security Scotland should continue to make efforts to establish these details. Payments will continue to be made to the person who has been receiving CDP on the individuals’ behalf.

Social Security Scotland can suspend payment if these details are not provided (CDP regs, reg. 26A.(3)(c)).
