The Scottish Child Payment is a new payment for families on certain benefits or tax credits to help towards the costs of looking after a child.
It’s £40 paid every four weeks for each child under six. It opens on Monday 15 February 2021 but the Scottish Government is taking applications now to help them manage demand.
Further information is available by clicking on the document link below – Scottish Child Payment Factsheet.
Applications can be made by visiting the ScotGov website, using the link below.
