🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ADP Form Guidance for Scotland

Describe your condition
the right way to get what you're owed

Most rejected ADP claims fail not because the person doesn't qualify, but because they don't describe their difficulties in the language Social Security Scotland scores against. ADPexpert is built to fix that.

Activity 1 of 12

Preparing food

Daily Living 8 points possible
🔍 PERSONALISED ANALYSIS

Your fibromyalgia causes chronic pain and fatigue that make it unsafe to stand at the worktop for more than 5 minutes. This places you under descriptor 1f - cannot prepare and cook a simple meal [8 points], because the reliability criteria (safely, repeatedly, to an acceptable standard) fail on the majority of days.

📋 COPY
"My fibromyalgia makes it unsafe to prepare hot food on most days. I can stand at the worktop for about 5 minutes before the pain forces me to sit down, and my grip weakens without warning. On 14/02/2026 I dropped a hot pan and burned my hand - my GP has this on record. I have a perching stool and adapted utensils with thick handles, but even with these I still need my wife to cook hot food 4-5 days a week. When she works late I just go without a hot meal. I cannot prepare a simple meal safely or to an acceptable standard, I cannot do it repeatedly without exhausting myself, and a simple meal takes me over an hour on the days I do attempt it."

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Same question. Different result.

This is what a typical ADP application Part 2 answer looks like, and this is what ADPexpert writes for you. The difference = points. Points = your ADP award.

ADP application Part 2 - Activity 1: Preparing food
"Describe any difficulties you have preparing food."
✗ WITHOUT ADPexpert
Typical answer
"Sometimes I have problems making food. My back hurts so I can't stand for long. My wife helps me sometimes."
What's wrong
  • ✗ "Sometimes" = vague, it scores 0 points
  • ✗ No specific frequency or numbers
  • ✗ No Social Security Scotland descriptor language
  • ✗ "Helps me" - what help? Prompting? Supervision?
Likely outcome
0-2 points
✓ WITH ADPexpert
ADPexpert answer
"I cannot reliably prepare a simple meal safely, repeatedly, to an acceptable standard. On most days chronic back pain prevents me standing for more than 5 minutes. I require my wife to prepare hot food 4-5 days per week. I have dropped pans twice in the last 3 months, including burning my hand on 14/02/2026."
What works
  • ✓ Exact Social Security Scotland descriptor language - "cannot reliably", "safely, repeatedly"
  • ✓ Concrete numbers - 5 minutes, 4-5 days/week
  • ✓ Specific incident with date - "14/02/2026"
  • ✓ Frequency that meets the "majority of days" test
Likely outcome
8 points (Standard)

Example for illustration only. Actual points depend on how your case is evaluated, your specific medical evidence, and full claim context. ADPexpert provides personalised guidance, not a guaranteed award.

📋 Tip: Describe your worst days, not your best - ADP is assessed on the majority of days

Simple, transparent pricing

ADP is worth up to £10,000 a year. The right wording on your form is what unlocks it, and every option below costs a fraction of a single year's payment.

Built on real ADP regulations

ADPexpert uses the actual ADP descriptor framework, reliability criteria and official Social Security Scotland terminology. Every recommendation is grounded in The Disability Assistance for Working Age People (Scotland) Regulations 2022 (SSI 2022/54) - the same rules Social Security Scotland uses to score your claim.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start.

Yes. Every report is generated specifically for your diagnosed conditions and the description you provide. Someone with fibromyalgia will receive completely different guidance to someone with epilepsy - because the way each condition affects the 12 ADP activities is different.
No - ADPexpert is not a platform with accounts or logins. Your report is created once, shown on screen, and a full copy is emailed to you automatically. For your privacy we deliberately do not store reports or health details on our servers, so the email copy is your permanent copy - please save it. If you ever lose it, contact us with your receipt and we can regenerate it.
Absolutely - this is one of the most common reasons people come to us. An ADP refusal is not the end. There are two stages and our Re-determination Pack (£149.99) covers both so you only pay once. Stage 1 is the re-determination: Social Security Scotland looks at your case again. You get the re-determination letter template, a point-by-point rebuttal guide and an evidence gap analysis showing exactly what to add to strengthen your case. Stage 2 is the tribunal: if the re-determination does not succeed, you can appeal to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland. You get full tribunal materials: witness statement template, First-tier Tribunal submission letter, skeleton argument, hearing day walkthrough and a complete checklist of what to bring. Everything is personalised to your conditions. Even our Full Report (£49.99) and Done For You (£99.99) help if you want to identify what was missing in your original claim before deciding to challenge.
Yes. We do not store your medical information. Everything you enter is processed in real time to generate your report, is not kept on our servers afterwards, and is never sold or used for any other purpose. It is shared only with the processors needed to generate and deliver your report, under contracts that require confidential handling, exactly as set out in our Privacy Policy. Your privacy is our priority.
mygov.scot tells you what the ADP activities are - ADPexpert tells you exactly how YOUR condition affects those activities and what language to use. It's the difference between a map and a personal guide who knows the terrain.
We're here to help. If you have any questions about your report, need assistance understanding your guidance or have any other concerns, please email us at support@adpexpert.co.uk and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
The Full Report (£49.99) gives you personalised guidance for all 12 activities - including which descriptors apply, what language to use and what evidence to gather. The Done For You (£99.99) includes all of that PLUS fully written ADP application Part 2 answers you can copy-paste directly onto your form, consultation Q&A prep for every activity, a consultation prep sheet, "What NOT to say" guide, GP letter template and priority email support. If you want to save time and have everything written for you, Done For You is the way to go.
Your report is generated within 5-10 minutes after payment (longer reports with many conditions can take a little more). You can download it as a PDF straight away and it will also be emailed to you automatically. Start using it to fill in your ADP application Part 2 form right away.
Yes. ADP reviews look at the same 12 activities as your original ADP application Part 2, so the same report works for a review, a renewal or a change of circumstances. ADP awards run on a rolling basis with no fixed end date and most are reviewed at some point to check you are still getting the right amount, with lighter-touch reviews often set several years apart and some awards made on an ongoing basis. Many of our customers use ADPexpert specifically for a review to make sure they do not lose their existing award.
No, and we want to be upfront about that. A lot of the outcome depends on how clearly your form describes your difficulties, the supporting information available and how Social Security Scotland weighs it. No service can guarantee the result, and anyone telling you they can is misleading you. What ADPexpert does is help you describe your conditions in exactly the way the ADP descriptors are scored, using the precise reliability language that Social Security Scotland applies. Most ADP determinations are made on the papers, so a clear, complete form is your strongest move, but the final determination always rests with Social Security Scotland.
