Adult Disability Payment Review: consultation
Section 11 – Changes in people’s circumstances
The following question asks about reporting a change of circumstances for Adult Disability Payment as set out in Section 11 of the Consultation Paper.
For this question, we are specifically interested in changes that affect a person’s daily living needs. This might mean that the amount of Adult Disability Payment they get might change.
What do we mean by a change of circumstances?
People (or people who act on their behalf, called representatives) must inform Social Security Scotland about changes, such as:
- their banking or contact details
- their condition
- the level of help and care needs
- the support they need with their mobility.
People (or their representatives) must tell Social Security Scotland about changes within four weeks.
