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.
