How ADP differs from PIP.
Same points, different body
ADP is run by Social Security Scotland, not the DWP. It uses the same activities, descriptors and points as PIP.
No assessment by default
Most decisions are made from your application and supporting information. A consultation is only arranged if more is needed.
42 days to challenge
You have 42 days to ask for a re-determination, and 31 days from the re-determination to appeal to the tribunal.
Short-Term Assistance
If your award is reduced or stopped and you challenge it, you can ask for Short-Term Assistance to keep being paid while it’s looked at again.
Tools for your claim.
ADP points questions answered.

It replaced PIP in Scotland and uses the same activities, descriptors, points and rates. It’s run by Social Security Scotland, which usually decides without a face-to-face assessment.
42 days from the date you’re told the decision to ask for a re-determination. If that doesn’t change it, 31 days from the re-determination to appeal to the tribunal.
If your award has been reduced or stopped, you can ask for Short-Term Assistance while your re-determination or appeal is decided.
Yes. A descriptor applies if it fits you on more than 50% of days. You must also be able to do an activity reliably: safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and in a reasonable time.
No. Your income, savings and whether you work don’t affect it, and it’s tax-free.
No. It shows how the points add up for the descriptors you pick. Social Security Scotland decides your award.
