Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to abandon its unacceptable 2036 timeline for the Minimum Income Guarantee (MIG) and fully implement it by 2029. The baseline must equal the National Minimum Wage, independent of housing costs, and ban the proposed interim MIG model’s 12-month-in-60-months time limit on some recipients. Bureaucratic delays cost lives; poverty demands immediate action for working-age adults across Scotland. Fast-track MIG to 2029: dignity delayed is dignity denied, and working-age adults cannot wait another decade.
