ADP Carer's Statement Template (PDF)
A guided template for the partner, family member, friend or support worker who helps you. Prompts for every area of daily living and mobility, how-often tick boxes, space for three dated incidents they witnessed, and a signed declaration page - a description from someone who knows you well, which Social Security Scotland accepts as supporting information in its own right.
Use when: someone helps you day to day and you want their evidence in your application - most people never send it because their carer does not know what to write.

Which tool do you need?
I have not applied for ADP yet and I am not sure if I qualify
Start with the Eligibility Quiz (30 seconds). If positive, run the Points Calculator for a detailed estimate.
I am about to fill in my ADP application Part 2
Use the Points Calculator to plan which descriptors apply to you, then read ADP form examples for high-scoring language patterns. In Scotland, most determinations are made on paper, so your form is your case.
My ADP has just been refused
Use the Determination Analyser to identify scoring errors, then the Re-determination Letter Generator to draft your challenge. You have 42 days from the determination letter date.
My re-determination was refused too
You can appeal to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Social Security Chamber) within 31 days of the re-determination outcome. Read our tribunal guide. Our Re-determination Pack (£149.99) includes tribunal-ready materials.
I have already been awarded ADP and have a review coming
ADP awards run on a rolling basis with no fixed end date and most are reviewed, usually with a light-touch review every 2 to 10 years, scoring the same 12 activities. Use the Points Calculator to check your current scoring, then either DIY or get help. Our Full Report and Done For You packages cover review claims too.
How are these tools free?
The four tools above cost very little to run, they are JavaScript calculators and automated drafting built on the official ADP descriptor framework. They are funded by our paid services:
- Full Report (£49.99) - personalised guidance for all 12 ADP activities
- Done For You (£99.99) - complete written ADP application Part 2 answers ready to copy
- Re-determination Pack (£149.99) - Done For You plus full tribunal materials
You do not need to buy anything to use the free tools. They work standalone. If you find them useful and want full personalised guidance, our paid products take the same descriptor-matching approach and generate complete answers for your specific conditions. Compare all options including Citizens Advice and welfare solicitor.
Want personalised answers for all 12 activities?
The free tools give you scores and templates. Our paid service writes complete ADP application Part 2 answers tailored to your specific conditions, mapped to descriptors, ready to copy onto your form.

Are these ADP tools really free?
Yes, all four tools are 100% free with no signup, no payment and no card details required. They are funded by our paid ADP guidance service (Full Report £49.99, Done For You £99.99). The tools work standalone - you do not need to buy anything to use them.
Which tool should I use first?
Start with the eligibility quiz if you are not sure whether you qualify - it takes 30 seconds and gives an instant indication. If you already know you qualify, use the points calculator to estimate your potential score and award rate. If you have already been refused, use the determination analyser to identify scoring errors and the re-determination letter generator to draft a challenge letter.
What is the difference between the calculator and the quiz?
The quiz is a 5-question yes/no test giving a rough eligibility indication in 30 seconds. The calculator is a full 12-activity descriptor walkthrough that estimates your actual ADP points and likely award rate. Use the quiz to decide if ADP is worth pursuing; use the calculator to plan your form answers.
Can these tools guarantee I will get ADP?
No service or tool can guarantee an ADP award - the determination rests with Social Security Scotland. Our tools help you understand your potential score and prepare strong claims, but the final call is based on the evidence and your application. We are transparent about this.
How is the re-determination letter generator different from a paid Re-determination Pack?
The free re-determination letter generator produces a generic re-determination letter template based on your name and outcome. The paid Re-determination Pack (£149.99) generates a personalised letter with point-by-point rebuttal of your specific determination, full Done For You report covering all 12 activities, and complete tribunal materials (witness statement template, First-tier Tribunal for Scotland submission letter, skeleton argument). Both are useful - the free version covers a basic re-determination, the paid version is for serious challenges.
