Part of Pension Age Disability Payment decision making guide


Evaluating the application form

Part one of the PADP application form collects information on basic eligibility criteria which is required to determine eligibility.

Part two of the PADP application form gathers more specific details about an individual’s needs. It has seven key sections:

  • When your care needs started
  • supporting information (including the statement of support from someone that knows you)
  • conditions
  • medications
  • treatments and therapies
  • Current stays in a hospital, care home or legal detention
  • care needs questions

To make a determination, a case manager should review each section of the individual’s application and apply the eligibility criteria as set out throughout the Decision Making Guidance.
