Being transferred to ADP in May

Hi,
I was awarded PIP in Oct 2022 for 2 years. I live in Scotland. I have received a letter from PIP saying they will transfer my claim to ADP in May and that ADP will reassess me. Does that mean that it will be no earlier than May that I will be reassessed, thus giving me a wee bit of time to gather evidence? thanks

Hi

Once your claim is transferred in May you will be sent a review form to complete and experience to date.

Good plan to start gathering supporting information. Suggest you gather as much information used for your original PIP claim as the only info sent by Social Security Scotland with the review form is the PIP points awarded and even then these can lack detail eg Preparing Food 2 points - but not the actual descriptor of the 3 that you can be awarded 2 points for.

Hopefully you may still have your original PIP Award letter giving your detailed points breakdown plus a copy of your PIP Cclaim form and ideally your PIP assessment report.

Hi hope this will help. I was transferred over to ADP early last year as I reported a change in circumstances. I was told I would continue at the same rate but would be sent a review form. I waited but didn't receive one. After 5 months I rang and had one sent out.. I filled it in and nearly 10 months later my case is sitting on a pile waiting for an assessor to pick it up. It could be different for people being transferred over with reporting a change in circumstance, but my best guess is you could be waiting some time .I I think you have time to gather evidence (although I wouldn't leave it too long).

I got a letter in just before Christmas saying my PIP would be transferred in April and then a few weeks after that, I got a letter from SSS saying my ADP review would be in June and they would send me a letter in May to remind me. It's such a worry as there's not much online of people's experience with ADP reviews yet so I'm dreading just as much (if not more) than PIP reviews.

It can be a long process. I got my initial letter last April saying that I would be transferred to ADP in July. The transition went smoothly and my benefit payment was on time. My old PIP award ran out in October and I got a renewal form in mid-August. I returned it by the end of August. I treated it exactly like a PIP renewal. I filled in all sections with plenty of detail and sent in some up-to-date supporting evidence. My application is still in a queue, waiting to be assigned to a case officer.
