Scottish Child Payment

Scottish Child Payment helps towards the costs of supporting your family. It's a weekly payment of £20 that you can get for every child you look after who's under 16 years of age.

You'll get the payment every 4 weeks if your application is successful.

It's up to you what you choose to spend the money on. You could use Scottish Child Payment for things like:

• travel costs
• nappies and other essentials
• childcare
• family days out

Scottish Child Payment does not affect any other UK or Scottish Government benefits that you, or any person in your household currently get.
