Important information about free school meal payments during the October break, a £50 Winter Clothing payment and the Scottish Child Payment expansion.

By Friday 14 October, there will be two payments made to parents and carers of children and young people who attend primary or secondary school and who qualify for free school meals based on family circumstances.
  • free school meals payment
  • additional Scottish Child Payment expansion payment (being paid to parents in the run up to this benefit being expanded to all children and young people aged 6 to 16)
 
By Friday 4 November, the £50 Winter Clothing payment will be paid directly into bank accounts. This payment is to support families to buy additional clothing as part of the cost of living and energy bills crisis and will be paid for each child in receipt of School Clothing Grant.

All of these payments are only for families who qualify (are on certain benefits) and will be paid out automatically to anyone who has applied for this school year (August 2022 to June 2023). If you’ve already applied for free school meals or a school clothing grant, you do not need to apply again.
​
If you haven’t applied and you receive a qualifying benefit, you should apply by 28 October for a school clothing grant so we can include you in the £50 Winter Clothing payment.
 
For more information on if you qualify, search ‘free school meals and clothing grants’ on the council’s website.
