PROVISION OF RESEARCH TO INFORM THE EVALUATION OF DECISION-MAKING, INCLUDING CONSULTATIONS, REVIEW PERIODS, AND REVIEWS IN THE CONTEXT OF THE DEVOLVED DISABILITY BENEFITS

The Scottish Government, on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, is seeking to commission a contractor to undertake an evaluation of decision-making in the delivery of devolved disability benefits. The overall aim of the work is to provide the Scottish Government with timely, robust research on policy changes to decision-making and how these impact on individuals’ disability benefit experiences.
