It is unclear how the welfare reforms will impact people on devolved disability benefits in Scotland.
UK Government's proposed PIP reforms could impact nearly half a million Scots receiving Adult Disability Payment (ADP). Scotland's Social Justice Secretary fears the reforms will severely impact Holyrood's budget, despite some changes not directly applying in Scotland. Concerns are raised about the implications for disabled people's finances and well-being, with critics highlighting the potential devastating effects. 34% of ADP recipients are new applicants, and 66% transferred from PIP.
