Just had a read of this new payment. If you live in Scotland you will automatically be transferred by 2025. So you think that’s fine. If you do not read the guidelines you will not see the catch. You are responsible for informing any other benefit agency in tge Uk that you ave changed to the Scottish payment. Can you imagine the chaos this will cause. If you do not live in Scotland you are lucky you do not have to put up with the bunch of lunatics who say they are better for Scotland.
Yes I totally agree, it only replaced dla/pip which is a non means tested benefit so should not effect any other benefit and will mirror the dla/pip rate and still use the same Motability system without any benefit to the claimant/customer.
As an ex civil servant, I cannot see any reason for the Scottish Social Security to not notify the other agency’s. It is just another waistfull, costly tear of Government burocracy to duplicate more costly jobs with very little benefit to the poor claimant.
