People living in Scotland may not be aware of a Scottish Government scheme which helps provide financial support worth an average of £1,810 towards the costs of a loved one's funeral. The Funeral Support Payment can be used to help pay for the burial or cremation of a baby, child or adult in Scotland, and also includes babies who were stillborn.
The latest figures from Social Security Scotland show that since the scheme launched in September 2019, some 21,375 applications have been received. More than £25.5 million has been issued since 2019 to those eligible for financial support, with an average payment of £1,810.
Social Security Scotland aims to make a decision on claims for the support within 10 days of receiving all the evidence they need. However, it also said that this can take their specially trained team slightly longer when demand is higher.
You can apply for the payment up until six months after the date of the funeral, but if you could not make a claim for the Funeral Support Payment due to the disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Social Security Scotland will still accept your application.
If you've received a backdated qualifying benefit you may also have longer to apply - call Social Security Scotland on 0800 182 2222 for more information.
Below are all the details on the scheme including eligibility and how to apply.

Bridges was shaping up to get slapped with a “Warning: Explicit Content” label.The trigger was “Last Tears,” arguably the most distinctive-sounding song on the album, one that, as Scott puts it, “It’s kind of got a different style to where I would normally go, but it’s cool and it explores a different side of me.”The explicit issue, however, had nothing to do with the song’s particular style or sound. “I’m messed up, can’t sleep now,” Scott sings early on in the song.

EJ Panaligan editorColin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson play lifelong friends, Pádraic and Colm, whose relationship reaches an abrupt impasse in the trailer for director Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin.”Set during the Irish Civil War in 1923 on the fictional island of Inisherin, the events of the film begin when Gleeson’s Colm seemingly cuts off Farrell’s Pádraic with minimal explanation, setting off an interpersonal dance between the two former friends.The upcoming film will mark the reunion of the three Irish creatives, who first worked together on the 2008 black comedy “In Bruges.” That film chronicled Farrell and Gleeson as two hitmen forced to go into hiding in Bruges, Belgium, away from their enraged boss, played by English actor Ralph Fiennes. Outside of 2017’s “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” McDonagh’s film efforts have included either Gleeson or Farrell, but “The Banshees of Inisherin” is the trio’s second collective collaboration.
