Young Carer Grant is available for 16, 17 and 18 year-olds who spend an average of 16 hours caring for a person or people who receive a disability benefit. Young carers can apply if they are at school, in further education, employed or unemployed. Young people can apply once a year as long as they remain eligible and they can spend the £359.65 payment however they choose.
The Scottish Government introduced Young Carer Grant, which is unique to Scotland, in October 2019, to help young people with caring responsibilities. It is one part of a wider package of support available to young carers funded by the Scottish Government.
