The latest figures from Social Security Scotland show that at the end of July, some 484,055 people were receiving Adult Disability Payments (ADP), the devolved benefit that has now replaced all new and existing claims for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) north of the border. ‌

The data also shows that the average time to process a new claim for ADP is now 46 working days, just over nine weeks. This means people making a new claim in December could have an award decision before March, although it's important to be aware that some applications can take shorter or longer to process. ‌

The Scottish Government estimates that ADP will support 612,000 people by 2028/29, providing financial support of almost £4.5 billion. ‌
