Adult Disability Payment has replaced Personal Independence Payment in Scotland

Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which is paid by the Department for Work in Pensions, has been replaced by Adult Disability Payment in Scotland. Adult Disability Payment is money to help people who have a disability or long-term health condition that affects their everyday life.

Social Security Scotland is responsible for delivering Adult Disability Payment and we ask anyone in Scotland who is getting Personal Independence Payment (PIP) to contact us if they have not yet received a letter explaining that their benefit is moving to Adult Disability Payment.

People should now either have their benefit transfer in progress or have been transferred to Adult Disability Payment. Anyone with a Scottish postcode who is still getting PIP and not received a letter should get in touch with us. They can do this by calling our freephone number 0800 182 2222 or getting in touch on Webchat.
