Summary

Changes

Rationale

The Scottish Budget 2026-27 says:

"This will bring the total Scottish Child Payment amount to £40 a week for children under 1."

The policy parameter is the £40 total, not a fixed bonus amount.

Test plan

  • Tests verify £40/week total for under-1s (2028)
  • Tests verify standard rate for 1+ children
  • Tests verify no bonus before effective date
