More than 80,000 PIP awards will automatically transfer from DWP to Social Security Scotland.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions show there are currently 80,272 people living in Scotland receiving Personal Independence Payments . All of these claimants will move automatically in stages to Adult Disability Payment over the next few months.
The letter also gives information on what claimants should do before the move, during the move and what happens after the process is completed. More importantly, it also tells you what to do if you are getting any other benefits. It’s also worth noting that after you receive the letter from Social Security Scotland a similar one will arrive from the DWP confirming the planned move.
Carer’s Allowance If you get Child Disability Payment, and your carer gets Carer’s Allowance, you do not need to contact anyone. The DWP will share this information with the Carer's Allowance Unit.
