"From holyrood.com:A new benefit to help people on low incomes pay for the costs of a funeral will be available from next week, the Scottish Government has announced. The funeral support payment launches on 16 September and has three elements: burial or cremation costs; a flat rate £700 toward expenses including funeral director fees, coffin and flowers; and some transport costs. It will be available for recipients of universal credit, income support, income-based jobseeker’s allowance, pension credit, housing benefit, child tax credit and disability or severe disability elements of the working tax credit. https://www.holyrood.com/articles/news/new-scottish-funeral-benefit-launches-next-week It’s only one thing, but together with many other emerging differences between Scotland and rUK, the first days of a better country are surely in the past."
