Scottish disability payment

Has anybody applied for this? I'm looking but I can't find much detail about the descriptors. I don't think they have changed massively from PIP as previously they said it would make migration harder. Just curious really as I'm thinking ahead and waiting for applications to open in my area.

It is brand new so there will be very few people who have applied for it yet to share their experiences.

I've just put in my PIP renewal and really hope I get assessed in Scotland this time but nobody knows yet what will happen to people doing PIP renewals right now.

I have heard from others that the child disability payment assessment process is far more humane than DLA.

That's why I'm asking here, I can't find any real experiences of it online. Clutching at straws I guess!
