Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Introduction

This guidance is for case managers. Read this guidance to find out more about Child Disability Payment (CDP) for individuals who are 16 years and older.

Case managers should understand why CDP can continue to an individual’s 18th birthday and beyond in certain circumstances. The key intention is to help families during what can be a challenging time transitioning from child to adult services.
