Death of an individual

This chapter looks at what a case manager should do if an individual entitled to Pension Age Disability Payment (PADP) dies.

This chapter relates to the unscheduled reviews chapter which explains both:

• when an unscheduled review should take place
• what a determination without application is.

The term ‘next of kin’ has no legal definition in Scotland. Therefore, this chapter refers to the Executor of the deceased individual’s estate, and where there is no Executor, identifying an appointee for the deceased. Further information on the terminology used is set out in more detail in this chapter.
