Social Security Scotland is an executive agency of the Scottish Government. We help the people of Scotland by delivering a range of social security payments.
One of the benefits we deliver is the Best Start Grant School Age Payment which helps with the costs of preparing for school when your child is first old enough to start primary school.
You can spend this money on anything you need for your child at this age. This could include:
- clothes
- school trips
- stationery for school
You can get the payment for multiple children, as long as each child is the right age when you apply.
To find out more, or apply for any of our benefits, you can phone one of our advisors. For other contact options and support, please see our website.
