School Age Payments will be made automatically to eligible families, but some parents and carers will need to apply.
Social Security Scotland is urging parents, carers and guardians with a child born between March 1, 2018, and February 28, 2019, who get Universal Credit, Tax Credits, or other qualifying benefits to check whether they qualify for a one-off payment worth £294.70.
Additionally, Social Security Scotland has said that some young parents, those under 18 or 18 to 19-year-olds who are dependent on someone else but don’t receive qualifying benefits, also need to apply for the School Age Payment. Top Money Stories Today 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 - but only if they have opted in to receive automatic awards.
