Thousands of low income Scots are set to receive payments of £324 straight into their bank accounts from today as part of the UK Government's cost-of-living support.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) estimates around 689,000 families across the country will be eligible for the payment.
There is no need for people to apply or do anything to receive it - so people should watch out for texts or emails from scammers inviting them to make applications.
