New Adult Disability Payment Launches In Scotland

If you live in Scotland and are in receipt of Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or the adult Disability Living Allowance (DLA) you will shortly be migrated from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to the new Social Security Scotland department.

RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell spoke to Ben MacPherson MSP, the Minister responsible for Social Security Scotland, to learn more about the new payment and the process for transferring existing 

PIP and DLA recipients, as well as how new applicants will be able to apply.

If you'd like more info from Social Security Scotland, on any of the devolved payments, go to mygov.scot/benefits

Or you can call, free, on 0800 182 2222.
