Pension Age Disability Payment has supported almost 186,000 pensioners across Scotland in its first year.
The latest figures show the payment has provided over £580 million to older disabled people who have significant care needs due to being disabled, terminally ill or having a long-term health condition.
Pensioners can receive up to £458 a month to help cover the extra costs they face to stay safe in their homes.
Pension Age Disability Payment stakeholder resources are available on their website and include shareable social media content, flyers, posters and factsheets.
Please continue to share information with the people you support and their families or people who may be applying on the older person’s behalf.
