Families urged to apply for £260 one-off Christmas payment before closing date this month
Families across Scotland are being urged to make sure they do not miss out on a double December Bridging Payment of £260. The one-off payment will be made ahead of the Christmas holidays to the families of children registered to receive Free School Meals on the basis of low income.
Ms Robison said: “I urge anyone who is eligible and not already in receipt of Bridging Payments to register for Free School Meals through their local authority as soon as possible to ensure they qualify for the December payment. Ms Robison continued: “We know the cost of living crisis is having a severe impact on many families, particularly for those on the lowest incomes. With pressures on family budgets increasing it is more important than ever to receive all the help available.
