Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance reviews

Why your payments have moved to Social Security Scotland

Social Security Scotland is replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with Scottish Adult Disability Living Allowance (Scottish Adult DLA). This is happening as part of Scottish devolution.

Social Security Scotland and the DWP will both send you a letter to explain what happens next. You do not need to do anything until you receive these letters.

Find out more about how DLA is moving Scottish Adult DLA.

Call Social Security Scotland free on 0800 182 2222 if you have any questions about the move.
