Social security: consultation results - easy read

This report is about the results of the social security consultation which ran from 4 August 2022 to 27 October 2022. The consultation asked for your views on ideas to make social security in Scotland even better.


The consultation

There were a total of 34 responses to the consultation. A response is when somebody answers the questions in the consultation. Most of the responses were from organisations who speak on behalf of people. The rest of the responses were from people and companies.

As well as the online consultation, the Scottish Government held six events between 27th of September 2022 and 15th of November 2022. At the events the Scottish Government spoke to organisations and people who use the social security system.

The Scottish Government has also asked more questions to people on the Social Security Experience Panel and Client Panel. The people on the Social Security Experience Panel and Client Panel have claimed benefits before. The Scottish Government will use their answers to make decisions about the suggested changes.
