Processing a clothing grant application in Scottish Borders typically takes 2-3 weeks if received after July. However, if your application is submitted in July, it will be paid before the school year starts. For children entering Primary 1, Secondary 5, or Secondary 6, payments will be made after confirmation of school attendance.
Here’s a quick summary:
| Application Timing | Processing Time |
|---|---|
| Before July | Paid before school year |
| After July | 2-3 weeks |
To ensure a timely payment, it's best to apply as early as possible. You can find more details and apply through the Scottish Borders Council's clothing grant page.
