The Chair of the Independent Review of Adult Disability Payment sought evidence from a variety of audiences about the first year of delivery. This was used to help inform recommendations to ensure that Adult Disability Payment met the needs of disabled people.
The purpose of this call for evidence was to gather evidence from all interested parties to inform recommendations in relation to the Independent Review of Adult Disability Payment. This call for evidence was primarily intended for organisations, although anyone could respond.
The call for evidence asked wider questions relating to Adult Disability Payment which helped to inform the Chair's recommendations. It also provided an opportunity for specific feedback in relation to the areas identified in the Terms of Reference as being specific focus for the review.
This call for evidence was divided into the following sections:
Factors affecting take-up of Adult Disability Payment
Pre-application support for Adult Disability Payment applications
Processing times for Adult Disability Payment applications
Decisions, re-determinations and appeals
Informing about a change of circumstances
Review periods
Other considerations
