Adult Disability Payment (ADP) Insights March 2026

This the latest issue of our quarterly ADP Insights publication.

Here are three key points you need to know:   

  • From October to December 2025, the network provided almost 18,000 pieces of advice about the Daily Living Component of ADP to almost 8,000 people - these figures are broadly unchanged from previous quarters, highlighting consistently high advice demand.  
  • Demand for advice about Short-term Assistance was three times higher than at the same time last year, indicating that people who have been awarded ADP previously are beginning to form a larger proportion of those the CAS network is supporting to challenge decisions.
  • An award was granted at initial application in over half of the cases where our advice supported receipt of the Daily Living Component, showing that we enable the right decisions to be made the first time.
