Scottish child payment

[Cece92]

Hi :)

Any Scottish parents out there that applied for 'Scottish child payment' had any information back?

Thanks

I applied on 21st November no correspondence but can see in my monzo due £275 to clear tomorrow from SCP. This calculates as the backpayment does thwt mean 4 weeks from tomorrow I will get £100 gping forward? Sure I will get my letter probqnly after been paid lol

We got our payment on Monday like the letter said.

I seem to be in a minority to get my letter first though. It was a chunky white envelope so I knew it had to be that before I even opened it.

I hope everyone else gets theirs sorted ASAP. 🤞

I seen mines pending before I got the letter. I assume 4 weeks from payment that's the first official payment so I'm get mines 24th xxx

I’m still waiting, they can’t access my tax credits for some reason and I can’t find the letter and tc won’t send me a duplicate I have every other letter going way back but this years for some reason is awol. Frustrating I sent the screen shots of the app as I was asked and they’ve text and emailed me 15 times to say they’ve been received. I may get this money one day! Or maybe not 😂

I'm still waiting had nothing from them since before Xmas 10 weeks so far 🫣 praying its not much longer. 🙏 xx

I’ve finally got my back dated payment of £800 and then payments will be regular every month from March finally. Hope u all get urs asap 👍🏻

Fingers crossed for you.

I waited 11 weeks with no word. So glad it's came through the back payment will cover sons new school shoes, the last of my credit card, 2 months of his swimming club and some nice treats in the food shop.

Nothing exciting but so grateful for this 🙏

I work full time and get small TC top up this money really is a boost in income for me.

Good luck everyone hope you all get paid soon and if not think of it as a nice little lump sum.

@SustangMally I'm glad you got it back 😊 I'm the same work full time with small UC top up so this extra money is super handy! Enjoy your treats xx

I got mines. I had to contact them and ask as hadn’t heard anything. I got through on online chat. Apparently there had been an internal error with my application which she fixed and I got back payment within the week like a PP. Confirmed payments going forward every 4 weeks🥳

Yeah I also work full time with uc top up so looking forward to getting a little bonus to treat the kids it's been a long wait so I'm really praying it comes soon still nothing so far 🙏 xx

My Scottish child payment is scheduled for Monday I just checked my bank. I was expecting it on the 24th xxx

Got my letter in today's post confirming backdated money from 21st which I received n 16th February and states I'll get £100 again 4 weeks after that date on 16th March.

Was a blessing to pay my credit card as I'll have lower wage this month as had 2 days off sick which I don't get paid for 😭

So glad everyone is getting this top up, feels surreal to get extra money thst isn't deducted some other way lol.

I need to ring them as i just got a letter saying my son is getting taken off because he is 16 but found out the never added my daughter back in november so i havent been getting money for her .

So I got my payment 4 weeks ago today included back payment (applied on 14/11). So figured my £100 would go in today and then 4 weeks there after tho nothing.

@FOXYMORON1707 that's weird I got mine 27rh and got payment yesterday xxx
