Self Isolation Support Grant Update

The Scottish Government announces changes to Self-Isolation Support Fund to give support to more people on a low income.

Introduced from 16 February 2021, with a back date to 2 February 2021, the changes will result in:

• The money is available to workers earning the Real Living Wage or less
• Those who get council tax cuts because of low income.
• People with caring responsibilities for someone over 16 who must self-isolate.
• Carers who meet the criteria
• A longer time to apply, with people being able to apply within 28 days of being told to self-isolate.
