Receiving Adult Disability Payment

If your application is successful, the earliest date that Social Security Scotland can pay you from is when you:

• submitted the first part of your application, if you applied online
• phoned Social Security Scotland to start the application process, if you applied by phone and paper form

Adult Disability Payment is normally paid every 4 weeks. This payment will be for the previous 4 week period. It'll be paid into the account you gave in your application.

If you need to change your account details, call Social Security Scotland free. 

If you're terminally ill, Adult Disability Payment is paid weekly in advance.
