About review decisions
Understanding a review decision
A new decision following a review is called a determination.
When Social Security Scotland writes to confirm any change to the Child Disability Payment of the child or young person you look after, they'll let you know:
- what rate of Child Disability Payment the child will receive
- when the child's next review will take place
If the award will stop following a review, Social Security Scotland will write to tell you why.
How review decisions affect other benefits you get
If the child's award changes following a review, this could affect other related benefits that you get.
If you get benefits from any of these organisations, you should tell them about changes to your Child Disability Payment:
- your local council
- HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC)
- Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
- Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA)
