People making a new claim may be able to speed up the decision making process.
The latest statistics from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of July, some 93,880 people were in receipt of Adult Disability Payment and of those, 42,620 were new applicants and 51,260 were existing Personal Independence Payment case transfers.
However, Scotland’s welfare system is also encouraging people about to make a new claim, or those who have already submitted one, to provide at least one piece of supporting information from an acceptable professional as that could help case managers understand someone’s condition, disability or daily living or mobility needs - and speed up an award decision.
More help about completing an application for Adult Disability Payment can be found on the Disability Rights UK website - a guide covering the whole application process can be downloaded for free here. The Scottish Government also recently announced that third sector organisations are to be paid a fee for helping provide supporting information for people applying for Child Disability Payment or Adult Disability Payment. The £33.50 fee will be paid when they are asked by Social Security Scotland to complete a supporting information request form.
As well as information from health and social care professions, information could also come from charities and third sector organisations who support disabled people.
