The cost of living crisis is putting additional pressure on household finances for millions of families across Scotland as the nation tries to cope with soaring energy bills, rising inflation and higher National Insurance Contributions.
Last week, Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a £15 billion support package to help millions of households cope with the crisis by unveiling a series of one-off payments for the elderly, disabled, unemployed and those on a low-income.
However, families in Scotland on a low-income with children under the age of six, may not be aware that they could be eligible for an extra £20 every week.
