Payments for children in Scotland
CPAG in Scotland
This course provides an overview of benefit support for families in Scotland from pregnancy to school age. Scottish child payment is available for almost half of all children under 16 and significantly increases income. It is crucial for advisers and others to know about this and other family payments in Scotland so that nobody misses out on vital income. The course also covers UK benefits for children, which are still the main source of support in Scotland. It looks at what can be done to help when UK benefit income is reduced by the ’two- child limit’ and ‘benefit cap’.
The course covers:
An overview of payments for children in Scotland
Who can get Scottish child payment
Who can get Best Start grant and Best Start foods
UK-wide payments for children
Understanding the two-child limit and the benefit cap
This course is aimed at advisers and support workers who have little or no knowledge of benefits.
