Social Security Scotland are required to make a determination without application when:

• an individual is under 18 years of age
• moves to become resident in Scotland
• was resident in the another part of the UK before the move, and
• was entitled to DLA immediately before ‘the date of the move’ (1 CDP regs, reg. 35(1)).

Entitlement to CDP begins (following the determination without application) on the day after the day on which DLA ceases to be paid to the individual (CDP regs, reg. 35(2)).

Case managers will know that an individual in receipt of DLA has moved to Scotland because the DWP or DfC will send this data to Social Security Scotland. The data will include the end date for DLA. The Operational Guidance will contain further information on accessing this data for the purpose of making a determination without application.
