In Scotland, Adult Disability Payment, a devolved benefit, replaced Personal Independence Payment.

Individual block grant adjustments linked to individual policy decisions will be published in due course.

The Spending Review set a three year envelope and guarantees that the block grant will be at least £52 billion by 2029, with an additional £9.1 billion in Barnet consequentials over that time period.
