Scottish Government provides £192,000 to support disabled people and carers through the claims process
The Scottish Government will fund projects in Dundee, Falkirk, Glasgow and Midlothian to support people who need to be assessed for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) benefits.
For both PIP and ESA, which are benefits for people with ill-health or disabilities, assessments are carried out by firms contracted by the Department for Work and Pensions, to establish how their disability affects their life and what level of support they are entitled to.
