All DLA claimants living in Scotland will transfer from DWP next year.
Social Security Scotland is taking over the administration and payment of Disability Living Allowance from the Department for Work and Pensions . This means from Spring 2025, everyone currently on DLA who lives in Scotland will transfer automatically to a new benefit called Scottish Adult DLA - even if they have an ongoing, indefinite award from the DWP .
Transfers to Adult Disability Payment will continue until Scottish Adult DLA launches in 2025. Social Security Scotland will write to all DLA claimants to let them know when it is time for them to move to Scottish Adult DLA and anything they need to do.
