@joss does this apply to Scotland?
As far as I know @Brydo Its England. However I will try and see if that is correct.

Ok Just found this from reading the Policy paper Transforming Support: The Health and Disability White Paper
Updated 16 March 2023
Annex B: Across the UK
The UK Government is committed to improving the lives of disabled people and people with health conditions across the whole of the UK. The Green Paper consultation welcomed views from people across the United Kingdom.
This section sets out the extent to which these reforms will apply in each part of the UK. The Minister of State for Disabled People, Health and Work in the UK Government has cross-government responsibility for disabled people across the United Kingdom.
In Northern Ireland, responsibility for policies on employment support and social security sits with the Northern Ireland Executive.
In Scotland, some parts of the social security system remain the responsibility of the UK Government and others are devolved.[footnote 22] The latter includes PIP and DLA. These have been replaced by new Scottish Government benefits for claimants newly claiming benefits.[footnote 23] The proposals in this White Paper will therefore not apply to Scottish benefits. The changes proposed for ESA and UC will apply in Scotland, since these benefits will remain the responsibility of the UK Government. The DWP will work with the Scottish Government to consider the implications of our proposals for claimants in Scotland.
Currently, DWP continues to deliver PIP and DLA on behalf of the Scottish Government under Agency Agreements on the same basis as in England and Wales. This will continue until all existing claimants have been transferred to the new Scottish benefits. We will work with the Scottish Government to ensure that the proposals in this paper are applied to PIP and DLA in Scotland whilst Agency Agreements are in place.
This includes the changes to the Special Rules for End of Life in PIP, DLA and Attendance Allowance, which are outlined in Chapter 3 of this White Paper. The changes that have already been made in ESA and UC apply in Scotland, since these benefits remain the responsibility of the UK Government.
The Scottish Government is already delivering Child Disability Payment, its replacement for DLA for children, and started to deliver Adult Disability Payment, its replacement for PIP, from 29 August 2022. With respect to employment support, the Scottish Government has concurrent powers to set up programmes to help disabled people into work. It has similar powers to support people who are claiming reserved benefits and at risk of long-term unemployment, provided this support lasts for 12 months or longer. The UK Government remains responsible for the support provided by Jobcentre Plus, and for other contracted employment support in Scotland. The proposals in this White Paper apply in Scotland to areas that are reserved to the UK Government.
In Wales, employment support and social security are the responsibility of the UK Government, save for certain functions relating to employment support, which may be exercisable jointly or concurrently with Welsh Ministers in some circumstances. The proposals in this White Paper relating to those areas that are the responsibility of the UK Government apply in Wales and include PIP and DLA.
The Scottish and Welsh Governments are responsible for health, local government, education, skills and social care. Where the proposals set out in this White Paper relate to these areas, they focus on what this means for England.
We remain committed to working with the Scottish and Welsh Governments, and with the Northern Ireland Executive, to consider how best to deliver support for disabled people and people with health conditions.
