As of July 2025, 17,865,375 Adult Disability Payments had been made across Scotland, including £143,768,060 in North Ayrshire. A total of 484,055 people are receiving support this way.
The Payment, distributed by Social Security Scotland, goes to those with a long-term disability or health condition that impacts their everyday life. It can amount to up to £110 a week.
Ruth Maguire MSP said:
“In government, the SNP has built a social security system rooted in dignity, fairness and respect.
“This had made an enormous difference to people in North Ayrshire, with £143,768,060 payments issued and 15,390 disabled adults supported to live fulfilled lives.
“Every person who needs support should be able to access it, and the SNP will keep delivering that.
“I encourage everyone in North Ayrshire who thinks they could be eligible to check and ensure they get the support they are entitled to.”
