Changes which do not require an unscheduled review
Some changes might have an impact on the individual’s life but do not constitute a change that could possibly affect entitlement. These changes do not require an unscheduled review. For example, a change in an individual’s contact details.
Calum is entitled to the middle rate care component and the lower rate mobility component of CDP. His parent completes a Change of Circumstances form and sends it to Social Security Scotland to update their phone number and address after the family moves from Stirling to Aberdeen.
The case manager reviews the Change of Circumstances form and determines that no unscheduled review is required, as the change of contact details would not affect Calum’s entitlement to CDP.
The case manager sends a letter to Calum’s parent to explain that Social Security Scotland has updated its record of their address and phone number. No further action is required from Calum’s parent and his entitlement hasn’t changed.
