The next step in the programme is, as you know, the delivery of disability benefits, starting with the introduction of our eleventh benefit, Child Disability Payment in 3 local authority areas later this month ahead of full national rollout in autumn. This is a replacement for the UK Government’s Disability Living Allowance for childrenand will be followed in 2022 by the delivery of Adult Disability Payment, which replaces the UK Government’s Personal Independence Payment.
