Nearly 126,300 people living in Scotland will see their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) award transfer from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to Adult Disability Payment (ADP) over the next few months.
Everyone north of the border in receipt of PIP or Disability Living Allowance (DLA) will move to the devolved Social Security System by the end of 2025.
The transfer is also important for people with a Blue Badge, however, it’s important to be aware that the changes are on an administrative level for Social Security Scotland and DWP and not at claimant level.
The Motability Scheme is offered under the same lease terms for ADP as it is for PIP and DLA. Around a week after the transfer process has been completed, claimants will receive three letters, one of which is a ‘certificate of entitlement’ that can be used to apply for a Blue Badge, Vehicle Tax Exemption or an accessible vehicle or equipment lease from Motability.
