Child Disability Payment

Individuals must satisfy the backwards and forwards tests to be entitled to a higher rate of either component of CDP when their award is reviewed

Child Disability Payment

Entitlement to payment of the mobility component of CDP continues when an individual entitled to CDP enters alternative accommodation.

A person with parental rights and responsibilities has the right to act as the child's legal representative.

Individuals may be liable to repay Social Security Scotland if they have received an higher payment than they are entitled to, or they have received a payment they are not entitled to, of CDP or short-term assistance.
