A benefit payment which helps young Scots with the cost of starting work is being claimed by less than a third of those who could be eligible for the cash.
Only an estimated 29% of those who could be eligible for the Job Start Payment are claiming the cash, according to Scottish Government figures.
Those aged 16 to 24 who have been out of work can apply for a one-off payment to help with the costs of starting a new job, with those who have been in care also able to apply.
