This event will hosted via Microsoft Teams.
Who this event is for:
Stakeholders in Scotland who advise and support clients to claim Adult Disability Payment, for example; Welfare Rights Advisors, Financial Inclusion Staff, Health and Social Care Support Staff and Advocates. It would also be beneficial for those who work in policy, learning and development and communications teams.
Purpose of this handicap event:
Social Security Scotland wants to make sure that you and the people you support have all of the relevant information you need about Adult Disability Payment before it opens for applications nationwide.
This event will include information on the following topics:
• Overview of the service
• User research involved in building the application process
• The online application form
• The paper application form
• Completing an application form – covered in a digital walkthrough of our online application form using the new digital platform
• User Research Opportunities to support continuous improvement
You will have opportunity to ask any questions you may have from the people who have designed Adult Disability Payment and our colleagues in the Scottish Government. You will also be provided with a range of stakeholder resources to help you inform your network about Adult Disability Payment.
Adult Disability Payment will replace Personal Independence Payment in Scotland, which is currently delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions. Individuals with ongoing awards of Personal Independence Payment do not need to apply for Adult Disability Payment. We will begin the transfer of approximately 300,000 awards of Personal Independence Payment to Adult Disability Payment in summer 2022.
The Scottish Government has published a series of Position papers setting out what disability benefits in Scotland will look like. These can be found at the following link https://www.gov.scot/collections/social-security-policy-position-papers/

Thank for registering to attend our Adult Disability Payment event. Please read the information below carefully to understand how Social Security Scotland will process personal data you provide in connection with this event.
The personal data you provide e.g. names, email addresses and Job titles are necessary for us to run the event. The additional data we would like you to provide is discretionary and will help us ensure we are reaching a range of relevant stakeholders across the whole of Scotland.
The legal basis for the Scottish Government processing your data is GDPR Article 6 (1) (a). This means that we require you – the data subject – to give us consent to process your personal data.
What do we do with your data?
We collect your data for three main purposes:
1 – To communicate with you about an event or intervention that you have registered for. This may include sending out pre-event information, and follow up emails, for example event evaluations.
2 – To update you on upcoming and future Social Security Scotland events, and share opportunities that may be of interest.
3 – To demonstrate the spread and impact, for example, by sharing the number of people from a specific organisation or sector for evaluations and reporting.
Your data will be used as follows:
1 – Your data will be shared with those organising the event you have registered for, to allow them to plan the event and communicate with you about any specifics.
2 – If you consent, your data will be stored to allow Social Security Scotland to contact you about future events or opportunities which may be of interest.
3 – We may be asked to report back to organisations and provide data, for example sharing with a local authority the number of their staff who have participated in a specific event. We will not directly share your data without your consent. This means that we will not share delegate lists or network lists with third parties who request access. If a third party wishes to communicate with you, for example about an event or opportunity, we will send a message to you on their behalf.
Currently, we use a third party website, Eventbrite, to collate registrations for events. You can read how Eventbrite complies with GDPR on their website: https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/eventbrite-eu-data-protection
We also use a third party platform, Mail chimp, to create and send newsletters to some of our mailing lists. You can view how Mail chimps complies with GDPR here: https://mailchimp.com/help/mailchimp-european-data-transfers/
The Scottish Government has a Data Protection regime in place to oversee the effective and secure processing of your personal data.
How long is your data kept?
Your personal data is retained for as long as the Scottish Government has a relationship with you and the data is required to support the service that we offer – in this case the networks, events and other opportunities provided by Social Security Agency. This means that we will maintain contact with you unless you withdraw consent.
