This consultation asks for your views on changes to make social security in Scotland even better. We want to make changes to make things better for people who use our services. We also want to make changes to make sure that it is good value for money.
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Due to COVID-19 we made some short-term changes to social security. People had more time to apply for benefits or ask for decisions to be looked at again.
We want to know if these changes should stay. We also want to think about if late benefit applications should be allowed for reasons other than COVID-19.
Q13. Should COVID-19 still be a reason for more time to make benefit applications and asking for decisions to be looked at again?
