Why your views matter

The Chair wants to hear directly from disabled people, terminally ill people, and people living with long term mental and physical health conditions as part of the Independent Review, about their experiences of Adult Disability Payment. The Chair also want to hear from people and organisations who support people who currently or are likely to access Adult Disability Payment.

You may not identify as a disabled person. You might have a long-term health condition that affects your day-to-day life, but your experience is just as important. Gathering all your views will help the Chair make recommendations to the Scottish Government to improve Adult Disability Payment.
