Don’t forget - today social security Scotland are opening up child payments for children aged 6-16 if you’re on (most) certain benefits. It’s £25/week per child although given the volume of applicants I doubt we’ll see the cash until the new year.

Online applications open at 8am!

if you already have a child under 6 and are claiming, you can add your other children to your current claim.

if it’s your first time claiming then you’ll need to do a new claim online.

more info on the social security Scotland fb page.

I tried to claim just now and the system was down for maintenence. Anyone else had this? I think every time I go on there it's down!

Oh, it's 8am! Thar might explain it!

Thank you! I had no idea about this. Filled in the forms online and was quick and easy.
