Recommendation · verbatim
We would also suggest an incoming Committee continues to scrutinise the operational elements of Funeral Support Payment and Job Start Payment to ensure these payments are reaching those who need them and are working as efficiently as possible. In this context, a future committee may wish to consider the Scottish Government's benefit take-up strategy due in October 2026.
