"I get Disability Living Allowance for children – should I apply for Child Disability Payment?"

Child Disability Payment will replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children in Scotland.

If you already get DLA for children, you should not apply for Child Disability Payment.

Your payments will transfer automatically and we will write to you before this happens.

No. If your child is over 16 now, and this is the first time they
are applying for a disability benefit then they should apply for Personal
Independence Payment (PIP) from Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)
