However, the Scottish Government has previously said it will not automatically passport the following benefits:
Scottish Child Payment – the updated policy position paper noted that “automation is complex, time-consuming and technically challenging – and simply isn’t possible if we want to get money into families’ pockets as quickly as possible, while safeguarding as far as possible the programme of devolved benefits.”
Best Start Foods – People in receipt of Health Start Vouchers will be ‘invited to apply’ for best start foods, rather than being automatically transferred.4Cabinet Secretary for Social Security and Older Peopler. (2019, July 31).
