SOCIAL security is a human right and none of us knows when we might need it – it is a shared investment to help build a fairer society, together. That is why we – the Scottish Government and Social Security Scotland – are committed to making sure that the process of applying for our newest benefit, Adult Disability Payment, will be a positive and compassionate experience.
THREE years ago this month, we committed to doing things differently with Scotland’s new social security system, as we began delivering new benefits with powers devolved to the Scottish Parliament.
IN these uncertain political times, it is increasingly important that friends and partners in Europe and across the world see Scotland as the internationalist, outward-looking country that we are and want to continue to be, ready to play our part in tackling shared global challenges in collaboration with other nations.
