ALT Figure 2 shows, before ADP was introduced in 2022, initial award rates for new PIP claimants in Scotland followed the rate for and England and Wales very closely, standing at just over 40 per cent in early 2022 across the three nations. But in the early days of ADP, the award rate for the new benefit shot up, reaching a high of 64 per cent in the autumn of 2022. However, this pattern is very similar to what we saw when PIP was first introduced in 2013, with the award rate for the benefit being as high as 67 per cent in the spring of 2014. Since 2022, the ADP award rate has fallen gradually, again mirroring what we saw for PIP in its first year of introduction, so that, by 2025, the ADP award rate is lower than the PIP award rate in England and Wales (37 per cent versus 42 per cent), and also lower than the PIP award rate of 44 per cent three years after its introduction in 2016).
