Disability assistance in Scotland: consultation - easy read

About the Consultation

We want to hear from people about whether the way that we are planning to provide Disability Assistance will meet their needs.

All people who receive DLA, PIP or AA from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) will be affected by the changes we have described in this document. Welfare rights agencies, Disabled Peoples Organisations and public agencies including local authorities will also be affected.

Responses to this consultation will be used to draft each set of regulations for Disability Assistance. Once these regulations have gone through parliament, they will be put into law.

We would like responses by 28 May. To submit your response online please visit: https://www.gov.scot/publications/social-security-consultation-disability-assistance-scotland/.

If you would prefer, you can email your response to: disabilitybenefitsconsultation@gov.scot
