School Age Payment applications are now open until the end of February next year
Social Security Scotland is urging parents, carers and guardians who get Universal Credit, Tax Credits or other qualifying benefits with a child born between March 1, 2018 and February 28, 2019 to check whether they qualify for a one-off payment worth £294.70. The application window for the Best Start Grant School Age Payment opened on June 1 and will not close until February 29, 2024.
Social Security Scotland said if someone is already getting Scottish Child Payment and they are eligible for Best Start Grant School Age Payment, this will be paid automatically when their child is first old enough to start primary school. However, Social Security Scotland advised a small number of people who receive Housing Benefit are eligible for School Age Payment but not Scottish Child Payment. They must apply for School Age Payment before the window closes in February next year.
If you are a parent over 18, you can apply whether you're in work or not, as long as you are getting one of these:
