The Adult Disability Payment is expected to provide support to over 510,000 people by 2025.

 

It is the twelfth payment now delivered by Social Security Scotland, replacing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) in Scotland.

​

A significant number of changes have been made to the payment so far, with this consultation looking at the eligibility in terms of the mobility component.

This consultation seeks views on the proposal for amendemnts to legislation: to amend Schedule 2A of the Land and Buildings Transaction (Scotland) Act 2012 (“the Act”) and insert new Schedule 6A to the Act.

What comes under the term secondary mental health services?  

• These are usually services that need a GP referral or similar.

• They usually consist of community mental health teams (CMHTs) and adult in-patient mental health wards.

• They are sometimes delivered in the community or in hospital by a team of mental health professionals who have the skills and training to meet people's needs.

 

Examples of these services include, Psychiatrists, Mental Health Nurses, Psychologists, other aligning Health Professions, as well as Social Workers and Mental Health Officers.

​

There are currently no National Standards for these areas of work.  Do you have expertise and ideas to input to this consultation on how we address this?
