Export

When an individual in the protected cohort both

• leaves one country in the EEA or Switzerland for another
• does not take up employment in that new country any non-contributory benefits such as ADP should continue to be paid until the award end date (Article 7, Regulation EC 883/04).This is regardless of the rules on the competent state.

ADP awards should always be ended when:

• any individual leaves Scotland for somewhere outside of the EEA, Switzerland, Ireland or Gibraltar.
• an individual in the protected cohort leaves Scotland for somewhere outside of the EEA, Switzerland, or Gibraltar.
