Draft Disability Assistance for Older People (Scotland) Regulations 2024: Draft Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment

Test Run of Business Forms

Pension Age Disability Payment will make use of a new application form, as well as forms for applications under special rules for terminal illness, award reviews and change of circumstances. At present, such forms are under development, utilising user research from relevant stakeholder organisations and those with lived experience of the current social security system. The introduction of BASRiS forms in place of the existing DS1500 or SR1 forms for terminal illness applications is not a new business requirement, as this has already been rolled out with the introduction of Child Disability Payment and Adult Disability Payment.
