I just wanted to share my experiences moving from PIP to ADP in Scotland, as I know what a worry these things are for us.
In Early November 2024 DWP sent me a letter to explain my PIP claim was transferring to Social Security Scotland, who would pay me ADP instead. I would be paid PIP up until 9th Feb 2025. Soon after, I received a letter from SS Scotland to say my PIP would end on 9th February 2025 and ADP would start on 10th February 2025.
On 8th March 2025 I received a further letter to tell me my review would begin on 7th April 2025. At that time, I had to chase up the review papers with SS Scotland. I did so via their chat facility. Soon after (approx the 11th April) I received the review papers. I decided to send through the post, with my supporting information. I ticked the " no change" box as nothing had changed and this is what I was advised to do,after chatting on their chat facility. I sent the signed forms back with a list of my repeat prescriptions, a letter from my Consultant detailing my conditions and how I had continued to struggle, required a great deal of support from services etc. Also, importantly, a detailed letter from my partner who also offers me the required care and support on a day to day basis. I posted everything off to SS Scotland within a few days.
I didn't hear anything until today. I received a letter dated 1st July 2025. My ADP was going to stay the same as I had been previously awarded for PIP, both elements. A further review would take place in June 2028 and I would be contacted just before, to remind me a review was coming up.
I hope this may be of help to someone.
