SCOTLAND’S temporary ban on evictions during the pandemic is set to continue until the end of March, the Scottish Government has announced. Currently, the legislation protecting renters from being turfed out of their homes is due to come to an end on January 22, but next week MSPs will be asked to approve regulations pushing that back until March 31. The extended ban will apply to all evictions in areas subject to level 3 or 4 restrictions, except cases of serious anti-social behaviour, including domestic abuse. Speaking at the daily coronavirus briefing, the First Minister said the ban could, if necessary, be extended again.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has confirmed people who get Universal Credit will receive a bonus payment for Christmas. Claimants will see an extra £10 go into their account as the festive period edges closer. The bonus will be easily recognisable in claimants’ bank accounts as it will come under the reference DWP XB.
It will come from the £100m of winter support announced by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon last month. The STV Appeal, Aberlour, Barnardo’s and Cash for Kids will be among the organisations receiving funds, along with Action for Children, Family Fund, Families Outside, Who Cares? Scotland and One Parent Families Scotland. The cash will go to offer support for necessary expenses for the poorest families over the festive period, as well as supporting a scheme to give presents to children of low-income families. Communities Secretary Aileen Campbell said: “This funding will strengthen the help available to families across Scotland - supporting people during the festive period and throughout the winter months.
