Child Disability Payment decision making guide

End of entitlement

An individual’s entitlement to STA ends on the day:

  • the individual asks for the STA payment to be cancelled (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 3(1)(a))
  • a determination is made on a re-determination request (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 3(1)(b))
  • the First-tier Tribunal makes a decision (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 3(1)(c))
  • the First-tier Tribunal refuses permission to make a late appeal (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 3(1)(d))
  • the individual withdraws their appeal (CDP Amendment regs, reg 19(2)(a))

In cases where the decision of the First-tier Tribunal is set aside after a review under section 43(2) of the Tribunals (Scotland) Act 2014, Social Security Scotland will make a determination without application on the individual’s entitlement to STA (CDP regs, Schedule 1, para 3(2)).

In cases where the First-tier Tribunal set aside a decision by Social Security Scotland not to accept a request for a re-determination, and Social Security Scotland had also decided that the individual was not entitled to STA, Social Security Scotland will make a determination without application on the individuals entitlement to STA (CDP regs, Schedule 1, Part 1, para (1C)).
