The School Age Payment is part of Best Start Grant, a package of three payments that will give extra money to low income families during the early years of a child\u2019s life. It is a \u00a3250 payment made around the time a child normally starts Primary 1 to help with the costs of a child starting school. The money can be used for anything from school uniform and shoes to a school bag, books or days out.<\/p>\n
Applications open on 1 June 2020 and will remain open until 28 February 2021. Parents who have deferred entry to August 2021 should still apply in the 1 June 2020 to 28 February window. If they wait until after then it will be too late and they will miss out on their payment.<\/p>\n
