If entitlement to ADP is based on a PIP award that later changes

This chapter has explained:

• that case managers must make a determination without application when an individual, aged 16 or over, who has been receiving PIP moves to Scotland
• that this determination will take account of the individual’s PIP award, whether the individual is moving into alternative accommodation in Scotland and whether the differences between the PIP and ADP eligibility criteria may mean that the level of ADP award is different to the level of PIP award which the individual was receiving

Social Security Scotland must make a further determination without application if:

• the case manager has made a determination that the individual is entitled to ADP as a result of a move to Scotland from another part of the UK
• the PIP award that the case manager took account of changes immediately before the move to Scotland.
• this change occurs after the initial determination without application is made Although this change in PIP award must occur after the move and after Social Security Scotland make the initial determination without application, the change in the PIP award will relate to a period immediately before the move when the individual was entitled to PIP.

The change in PIP award must be as a result of either:

• the DWP or DfC deciding to revise or supersede the PIP award
• the individual successfully appealing the PIP award to a Tribunal or a Social Security Commissioner
• the DWP or DfC deciding to reconsider the PIP award (ADP regs, reg. 48(d))

Entitlement to ADP begins on the day after the day on which the individual’s entitlement to PIP ended. (ADP regs, reg.52(2).)
