Parents on certain benefits may also be able to claim a new £100 monthly devolved child payment
The cost of living crisis is showing no signs of slowing down and continues to put even more pressure on families across the country to keep up with soaring energy bills and rising prices at the supermarket. For single parents, the challenge can seem even greater and earlier this week, SNP MP Kirsten Oswald, asked the Department for Work and Pensions what support is available specifically for them.
Households on eligible means-tested benefits will get up to £900 in Cost of Living Payments in 2023/24. This will be split into three payments of £301/£300/£299 across the new financial year which starts on April 6. No payment windows or qualifying dates have been announced yet. The DWP Minister said: “Work continues across Government to identify opportunities to improve support further, including to boost the take-up of existing offers.”
Social Security Scotland will notify eligible claimants by text message when they are checking eligibility for the Best Start Grants and, if they are eligible, will write to advise them of the payment. Below is everything you need to know about the benefit, you can find more information and apply directly on MyGov.Scot here.
