Part of Adult Disability Payment decision making guide


Residence and presence

  • This chapter is relevant to Adult Disability Payment (ADP) applicants, both:
    • new applicants, and
    • those already in receipt of the assistance reporting a change of address.
  • It describes how rules for ADP are applied to deciding if the applicant meets the residence and presence criteria.
  • An applicant must satisfy a number of residence and presence criteria to be eligible for a ADP award. Those criteria differ depending on the applicant’s personal circumstances. There are special rules for some European nationals and some exceptions which apply to specific categories of people.
