COVID 19 - School Age Payment - 5 June 2020
The School Age Payment is now open for applications. This £250 from Social Security Scotland is for families who get certain benefits or tax credits. If your child was born between 1st March 2015 and 29th February 2016 then you could be eligible, especially if you have had a change in your income due to COVID19. The grant is to help with the costs when your child would normally start Primary 1, even if they're not starting this year. You can find out more and apply here.
