The Scottish Government has launched a new website providing information on the wide range of advice, information and financial support available to households and individuals across the country. Similar to the UK Government’s dedicated pages on GOV.UK, the website has been developed as a ‘one stop shop’ designed to help those struggling with the rising costs of daily living and soaring energy bills to find out if they are eligible for additional support.
The website also provides details on accessing benefits delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and devolved payments administered by Social Security Scotland. The online benefit calculators can help to identify unclaimed payments alongside a wider range of health and wellbeing information.
The website was recently launched by Social Justice Secretary Shona Robison during a visit to debt help service in Edinburgh, run by charity Christians Against Poverty.
