As the colder months roll in, many households in Scotland will be considering whether they should be cranking the heating up.
However, the recent rise in energy bills means that a lot of people may be reluctant to do so and cutting back on usage to save money. The Daily Record reports that many Scots may not be aware of four one-off payments created to help with heating payments between now and March.
These benefits are specifically aimed at helping with the cost of living throughout the winter, and don't include the UK Government's £400 energy rebate. The payments are for those on a low-income or certain benefits and worth more than £1,000.
