Families of an estimated 145,000 children will benefit from extra support this winter to help with cost of living pressures, backed by Scottish Government investment of £18.9 million.
First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, announced in October that Scottish Child Payment Bridging Payments in December will double from £130 to £260.
Bridging Payments were introduced in 2021 ahead of the extension of the Scottish Child Payment to 6-15 year olds. The final quarterly Bridging Payment will land in bank accounts before the schools stop for Christmas holidays on December 23.
