Adult Disability Payment

Scottish Government Adult Disability Payment – Consultation OPFS Submission

One Parent Families Scotland welcomes the opportunity to respond to this Scottish Government consultation on the draft regulations for the Adult Disability Payment. The Adult Disability Payment is a new Scottish benefit which will replace the UK Personal Independence Payment and be delivered by Social Security Scotland. This form of assistance is provided to disabled people between the ages of 16 and state pension age to mitigate the additional costs of living with a disability or health condition.

The regulatory framework for the Adult Disability Payment gives Scotland the chance to move towards creating a system that delivers the social security required to support people with the extra costs associated with a disability or health condition, enough for people to participate in society and to live as autonomously as possible.

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
