18 year-old in Children’s Unit. Can Daily Living component of ADP be paid

Hi,

I am completing an Adult Disability Payment application for an 18 year-old who is resident in a children’s unit. Can he be paid the Daily Living component whilst resident there given that he is resident under continuing care? I can only find that if in a care home then Daily Living Component cannot be paid whilst resident.

Hi Jim

Does the definition in SSS’s guidance help?

Thanks Sean. It looks like he can’t be paid the Daily Living component as no exceptions covering him.
