Parents and carers who could be entitled to a grant for school uniforms shave been advised to apply now to avoid disappointment.
In West Dunbartonshire, parents and carers of children who were automatically awarded the grant last year may still be required to provide proof of earnings and all eligible grants have already been paid.Those whose circumstances have changed since last year and any new applicants must complete a new application.
For families who have not received their payment, they can apply on line with online applications launching in June. While in West Dunbartonshire, to receive a clothing grant only, you must be on Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax Reduction or Working Tax Credit with a gross annual income of £16,860.
