Child disability payment (CDP) is a Scottish benefit that helps towards the additional needs of disabled children. It has replaced disability living allowance (DLA) for children living in Scotland. Getting an award of CDP can significantly increase income so it is a crucial benefit for advisers and support workers to understand.

It equips you to make effective claims by demonstrating how a child meets the qualifying criteria.

The course covers:

Who is entitled to CDP
