Saw on Facebook, someone queried the AP on their ordered Skoda Elroq 50 as PIP was £nil. Dealer and Motability said AP was £420. He was a tad confused by that.

Turns out ADP AP is £ 420, wtf..welcome to Scottish Disability….Not sure what cars are extra AP, but the big question is, why is it extra?

In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.

i don’t know what adp payments are but £420 advance and only £75.75 pw

It’s the Scottish version of PIP.

Elroq SE is £0 on PIP but £420 on ADP, Edition version id £999 on both.

Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!

I’d never heard of ADP either, but could the difference be due to the weekly payment being slightly different from PIP? It’s often confusing on this forum when people quote the WPMS (war pensioner mobility supplement) APs, as they are very different to the APs for PIP recipients (which, I assume, is the vast majority). However, as the benefit rates are different, if you add 3 years worth of the different benefit payment levels to the different APs, they both work out the same over 3 years. Maybe that’s the same reason why the APs for ADP recipients are different?

That is scandleous.

All pip recipients in Scotland will transfer to ADP .

Another quality service ruined provided by the SNP I’m afraid.

ADP was supposed to make claiming easier for disabled people, in reality the application form is 100 pages long, literally twice the size of the current PIP form.

No, the current full advanced weekly allowance for both PIP and ADP is £75.75, so the £420 is still unaccounted for.  Also weird that the Motability listing says weekly allowance £75.75 – unless of course it stays at that while “Full Allowance” goes up each year and that does not – but I’m very sceptical of that outcome, more prone to believe Scottish Social Security staff have screwed up their ADP figures.

Wife transfers from PIP to ADP (Adult Disability Payment) in the next few months, well, that’s what several letters have been saying for the past year or so…lol.

SNP, making life easier  more expensive for Scottish people since 2007.
