People over State Pension age resident in five local authority areas will be the first in Scotland to be eligible for a new disability benefit which is set to replace Attendance Allowance for people living north of the border only.

Pension Age Disability Payment will be rolled out in phases from October 21, starting in Argyll and Bute, Highland, Aberdeen City, Orkney and Shetland.

The benefit will become available in 13 more local authority areas in March next year before rolling out nationwide across Scotland by April, 2025.
