The Best Start Grant School Age Payment is a payment of £314.45 to help with the costs of preparing for school when your child is first old enough to start primary school. You can get the payment for multiple children, as long as each child is the right age and you get Universal Credit, tax credit or other qualifying benefits. School Age Payment gets paid automatically to people who get Scottish Child Payment. Some people may be able to get it if they are not eligible for Scottish Child Payment but get Housing Benefit.
