Child Disability Payment pilot opens for applications in Dundee and Perthshire
Shona Robison visited the Social Security Scotland headquarters in Dundee this week.
A new benefit for children with disabilities has opened for residents in pilot areas, including Dundee and Perth and Kinross.
The new Child Disability Payment will provide financial support to the families of children with a disability or long-term health condition.
It replaces the UK Government’s Disability Living Allowance for children.
People in Dundee City and Perth and Kinross can apply to the new system now, as well as the third pilot area, the Western Isles.
