Best Start Grant

Best Start Grant is three cash payments that you can apply for if you’re a parent or a carer.

You can get these payments:

• if you have a child who’s the right age for a payment
• whether you’re in work or not, as long as you’re on certain payments or tax credits

Find out if you’re eligible by visiting the Best Start Grant page of the Scot Gov website.
