Pension Age Disability Payment
30 Apr 2025
New claims for Pension Age Disability Payment can now be made across the whole of Scotland.
Pension Age Disability Payment is the Scottish Government's replacement for DWP's Attendance Allowance for eligible customers living in Scotland.
New Claims for Pension Age Disability Payment have been accepted in pilot local authority areas since 21 October 2024. From 22 April 2025 the Scottish Government has expanded this coverage to the whole of Scotland.
All eligible customers living in Scotland will now make a new claim to Pension Age Disability Payment instead of Attendance Allowance.
Customers living in Scotland and already receiving Attendance Allowance do not need to take any action. They will have their claims transferred to Pension Age Disability Payment by the end of 2025.
