turning the good intentions of policy and legislation into better lives for families with disabled children

Social Security Consultation on Disability Assistance in Scotland

DLA in Scotland will be replaced by a new benefit from 2020. This devolved benefit, Disability Assistance for Children and Young People will be paid until age 18 rather than 16. Children on the higher rate care component of the new benefit will also be entitled to Winter Heating Assistance. Views on this proposed approach to delivery of devolved disability assistance are now being sought.  For more detail visit  and https://www.gov.scot/publications/social-security-consultation-disability-assistance-scotland/pages/6/
