Scotland s £500 self-isolation grant extended to more people on low incomes SCOTLAND S £500 self-isolation payments are being significantly extended to more people on low incomes. The grant will now be available to workers earning the real Living Wage or less, as well as those in receipt of a council tax reduction because of low income. Those with caring responsibilities for someone over 16 who is asked to self-isolate, and who meet the eligibility criteria, can also get the grant. In addition, the Scottish Government is lengthening the period during which people can apply for the Self-Isolation Support Grant. They will now be able to apply within 28 days of being told to self-isolate.
