Reminder to apply for School Age Payment before deadline
The deadline to apply for Best Start Grant School Age Payment is midnight on 29 February 2024.
Your child could be eligible if they were born between 1 March 2018 and 28 February 2019 and your family receives Universal Credit, tax credits or other qualifying benefits.
It is paid automatically to parents and main carers of children who get Scottish Child Payment. If you don’t qualify for Scottish Child Payment, you might still be able to get School Age Payment, for example if you get housing benefit.
