Thousands of families with disabled children across the country have received almost £60million during the first year of a new Scottish benefit.
According to the latest statistics from Social Security Scotland there were close to 44,000 kids and young people receiving the Child Disability Payment (CDP) in September.
Last year the Scottish Government replaced it from the DWP's Disability Living Allowance ( DLA) which helped cover the extra costs of caring for a child who is disabled, has a health condition or is terminally ill.
