Paragraph 11 Determination following award of a Scottish child payment in respect of another child
The Scottish Ministers are to make a determination of an individual’s entitlement to a Scottish child payment in respect of a child (without receiving an application) where—
the individual has been properly awarded a Scottish child payment in respect of another child and has an ongoing entitlement to that payment (see regulation 19),
the individual notifies the Scottish Ministers that the individual has responsibility for the child (see regulation 9), and
it appears to the Scottish Ministers that, unless there is a change in circumstances, the individual is likely to be entitled to a Scottish child payment in respect of the child.
In making a determination required by sub-paragraph (1), the Scottish Ministers may use such of the information they have obtained in connection with the award referred to in sub-paragraph (1)(a) as appears to them to be relevant.
Where a determination is to be made by virtue of this paragraph, references in these Regulations to the day the application is made are to be read as references to—
the day on which notification is given under sub-paragraph (1)(b), or
such earlier day not more than 4 weeks before that day on which the child was recognised to be a child for whom the individual has responsibility in terms of an award of assistance mentioned in regulation 12(2)(a).
