RESIDENTS IN MIDLOTHIAN AND EAST LOTHIAN URGED TO APPLY IF THEY HAVEN’T YET
Colin Beattie MSP has shown his delight as thousands of families in Scotland have applied for the ‘game-changing’ Scottish Child Payment early. The MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh is urging any families in the area who have not yet applied for the scheme to do so to ensure they do not miss out on any money. So far, Social Security Scotland have 56,000 applications since the process opened in November. The Scottish Child Payment is set to be rolled out on 15th February. Colin Beattie MSP said: “It is extremely encouraging to see so many families sign up early to receive their Scottish Child Payment when it is rolled out in February by the SNP Scottish Government. “When the payment is introduced it will provide a real difference to families across Scotland at a much-needed time. “This is just the start of the work Social Security Scotland is introducing to make a difference to the lives of people in Midlothian and East Lothian, with the Scottish Child Payment described as ‘game-changing’ by anti-poverty charities. “I would urge anyone who has not yet applied to the scheme to make sure they do so that they do not miss out on any money they are entitled to.”
