Answer · Kate Forbes · 26 Feb 2021
Scottish Government Ministers meet with COSLA and individual local authorities on a regular basis to cover a range of issues. Negotiations on the annual local government finance settlement are conducted between the Scottish Government and COSLA, on behalf of all 32 local authorities, including Glasgow City Council.
In 2021-22, Glasgow City Council will receive a total funding package of almost? £1.5 billion to support local services, which includes an extra £29.8 million to support vital day to day services, equivalent to an increase of 2.2 per cent compared to 2020-21. The day to day service funding includes £9.7 million to compensate the council should they choose to freeze council tax levels, helping to protect households. Glasgow City Council will also receive their share of the £259 million in 2021-22 to support COVID-19 pressures, which they will be able to spend as they see fit for the maximum benefit of their community.

To ask the Scottish Government whether people receiving the highest component of personal independence payment (PIP) following a transfer from disability living allowance (DLA) because of DWP guidelines will continue to receive child winter heating payment assistance.
Answer · Shirley-Anne Somerville · 28 Jan 2021
Children and young people in Scotland who are entitled to the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for at least one day during the qualifying week (which is the third week in September) are entitled to Child Winter Heating Assistance (CWHA). Young people who are entitled to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) are not entitled to CWHA.
This is because CWHA is intended to provide assistance to children and young people with the most severe disabilities who have additional needs throughout the night. The eligibility criteria for PIP do not take into account the needs of individuals at night. Determining whether a PIP client meets the eligibility criteria would involve looking at cases individually which would have impacted on delivery of CWHA.
The Scottish Government has introduced changes to the eligibility criteria for DLA so that young people whose sixteenth birthday falls on or after 1 st September 2020 will not be required to apply for PIP at age 16. Their award will automatically be extended to age 18. This will allow young people who meet the eligibility criteria to continue to be entitled to CWHA.
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of its delivery of child winter heating payment assistance.
