Scottish Child Payment applications are now open for children aged under 16.
You can apply for the payment of £100 every 4 weeks if you

- have a child or children aged under 16
The quickest way to apply is online at https://bit.ly/SocialSecurityScotlandScottishChildPayment but you can also apply by phone, by post or in person.
If you have already been getting Scottish Child Payment for your child under 6 then you do not need to reapply.
If you have older children you can add them to your existing Scottish Child Payment at https://bit.ly/SocialSecurityScotlandScottishChildPayment
