More than 150,000 children in Scotland are missing out on a flagship Holyrood benefit despite being eligible for it, a Labour MSP has warned.
Pam Duncan-Glancy said the slow up-take of the Scottish Child Payment (SCP) was proof that some families were struggling to navigate the social security system.
The Glasgow MSP told the Record she wants to see a shift in the long-term to a different form of benefit payment which would see funds deposited in people's bank accounts automatically.
