People urged to share views on eligibility for mobility element of disability benefit in new consultation
People are being encouraged to share their views on how a Scottish Government disability benefit supports their mobility needs. The consultation on eligibility for the Adult Disability Payment mobility element will gather evidence to feed into a wider independent review.
Adult Disability Payment is made up of two components. A daily living element for people who experience difficulties with day-to-day activities such as preparing a meal or bathing and a mobility element, which supports people who have difficulties moving around or planning and following journeys.
“We have already improved the application process for disability payments, while maintaining our commitment to safely and securely transferring people’s payments from the UK Government. We’d like to know about people’s experiences of this improved system.” The consultation, focusing on the mobility element, will run for 12 weeks and will close on April 25, 2023 - you can view it here.
