Rates of Pension Age Disability Payment

The rate of PADP that an individual is entitled to is dependent on whether they meet the criteria set out in the PADP regulations.

PADP has two rates: the lower rate and the higher rate (PADP regs, reg 6(1)). An individual’s needs determine what criteria they meet and the rate of PADP that they are entitled to. For more information on the rates and criteria of PADP, see the PADP Rates and Criteria chapter.
