New update for people on PIP due to move to devolved disability payment this year
Adult Disability Payment is gradually replacing Personal Independence Payment for existing claimants living in Scotland. The devolved benefit provides the same financial support as the Department for Work and Pensions for people between 16 and State Pension age, who are disabled, have a long-term health condition or have a terminal illness.
Social Security Scotland - the devolved welfare system that delivers Adult Disability Payment - has issued a new update on social media reminding existing PIP claimants to update DWP with any changes in their circumstances until they have been transferred. Failing to report certain changes could result in benefit payments being stopped.
The GOV.UK website also contains an important warning that states: “You could be taken to court or have to pay a penalty if you give wrong information or do not report a change in your circumstances.”
