The Scottish Child Payment is worth £25 per week, per child, until their 16th birthday.
People in Scotland claiming certain benefits are being urged to claim a devolved payment worth £25 each week for children under the age of 16. Families who qualify for the Scottish Child Payment, who are also eligible for the Best Start Grant Early Learning and School Age payments, will receive the additional benefits automatically without the need to apply for them separately.
If you receive Scottish Child Payment, you will automatically receive Best Start Grant School Age Payment when your children are the right age, unless you opt out. School Age Payment is a one-off award of £294.70 to help with costs of starting school. The move builds on work already completed to make applying for Social Security Scotland’s five family payments as simple as possible. It also includes the ability to apply for all children in a household on a single form.
Below is everything you need to know about the benefit, you can find more information and apply directly on MyGov.Scot here.
