Choosing an appropriate review period

This chapter covers the topic of setting review periods for Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP).

This chapter provides guidance on:

• deciding whether or not an award of Pension Age Disability Payment should have a review date
• setting the award review period
• under what circumstances an indefinite award (award without review period) would be appropriate.

You should read this chapter together with the Principles of Decision-Making chapter. It sets out the principles and the legal context that underpin decision making in the Scottish social security system.
