Social security Experience Panels
Scottish Government appealing for those with experience of social security to help shape new system.
The Scottish Government will become responsible for some of the benefits currently paid out by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
The government wants to work with people who have recent experience of these benefits so that it can design a new social security system with – and for – the people of Scotland.
