Child Disability Payment decision making guide

Export

When an individual in the protected cohort:

  • leaves one country in the EEA or Switzerland for another
  • does not take up employment in that new country, and
  • has a genuine and sufficient link to Scotland any non-contributory benefits such as CDP should continue to be paid until the award end date (Regulation EC 883/04, Article 7). This is regardless of the rules on the competent state

CDP awards should always be ended when:

  • an individual who is not in the protected cohort leaves Scotland to live in somewhere other than the Republic of Ireland or Gibraltar
  • an individual in the protected cohort leaves Scotland for somewhere outside of the EEA, Switzerland, the Republic of Ireland or Gibraltar
