New update on devolved disability payment processing times for people waiting on decision
Social Security Scotland has announced that work is underway to speed up processing times for Adult and Child Disability Payment applications, two new devolved benefits which have now replaced new claims for Personal Independence Payment and Disability Living Allowance for Children for people living in Scotland.
It added: “No two applications are the same, and how long it takes to give people a decision will vary.” “While gathering information on behalf of clients takes time, it allows us to make robust decisions. It is particularly important for those who would be unable to gather this information on their own.
