Extra support

You might be able to get extra support if you get Pension Age Disability Payment from Social Security Scotland.

These are called related benefits. These can help:

  • with living costs
  • with travel and transport
  • if you’re on a low income

These are not added automatically. You, or someone responsible for you, can apply for them. The rates of your disability payment will have an effect on what you can apply for.

Pensions Credit is a related benefit for Pension Age Disability Payment. Ask your local support services for help with related benefits
