Overview
If the child or young person you look after lives in Scotland and still gets Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children
Social Security Scotland have now transferred all cases expected to move from DLA for children to Child Disability Payment.
Contact Social Security Scotland if you have not had a letter explaining that the DLA for the child or young person you look after is moving to Child Disability Payment.
From 6 November 2025, anyone in Scotland who gets DLA for children will have to make a new application for Child Disability Payment.
Social Security Scotland can help you get money you're entitled to. If your DWP payments have stopped and you have a break in payments, find out what types of support you could be eligible for.
Child Disability Payment has replaced Disability Living Allowance for children in Scotland.
Social Security Scotland has completed the transfer of these benefits.
If the child or young person you look after lives in Scotland and still gets Disability Living Allowance, contact Social Security Scotland.
