Description

Information on Child Winter Heating Assistance, which was introduced in November 2020 by social Security Scotland. Data covers payments made from November 2020 to 17 March 2021 (“Winter 2020/2021”). Breakdowns include local authority, age of child or young person, and sex of child or young person. Additional information about recipients, including parents, guardians and appointees, is available in the full publication and tables.

Full publications and tables covering Child Winter Heating Assistance are available on the Scottish Government website.

Details
Confidentiality Policy

This data contains no sensitive, personal information. Data has been rounded and suppressed for disclosure control.
Quality Management

Age

Age of children or young people is based on age at the start of the qualifying week. In a small number of cases age band is ‘unknown’. This is either due to missing date of birth information or an error in date of birth.

Sex

Information on sex of the child or young person has been taken from separate data transferred by DWP. Sex information has been matched to information about payments on Social Security Scotland’s case management system based on child or young person date of birth and postcode. Sex information is missing for 2% of payments due to non-matching.

Local authority

Payments are assigned to local authority by the residential postcode of the child or young person, using a Scottish Government lookup file. A small number of payments could not be matched to local authority due to their supplied postcodes not matching the lookup file.

More detailed information about data quality is available in the background to each full publication.
Accuracy and Reliability

The data comes from 100% data cut of the Child Winter Heating Assistance cases on the Social Security Scotland case management system. Information about children and young people, such as date of birth and postcode, was complete for all cases.

Payment numbers have been rounded to the nearest five for disclosure control. Figures may not sum due to rounding.
Coherence and Comparability

The eligibility for Child Winter Heating Assistance is dependent on a child being in receipt of the highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance. The data is therefore similar to the Disability Living Allowance statistics for children in Scotland published on StatXplore by DWP. Differences between the statistics for Child Winter Heating Assistance and Disability Living Allowance for children are described in the full publication on the Scottish Government website.
Accessibility and Clarity

This publication presents data for Child Winter Heating Assistance cases where a payment value had been recorded on the Social Security Scotland case management system by 17 March 2021. This accounts for 98% of the cases that were on the case management system at this date. A recorded payment value indicates that a child or young person had been found to be eligible during the qualifying week, and that an instruction had been sent to Social Security Scotland finance to make a payment. The majority of recipients were paid in December 2020, and therefore most recipients will have received payments by 17 March 2021.

The remaining 2% of cases that are not included in this publication may not have had payment values for a variety of reasons, for example, (i) the child or young person was found to be ineligible, (ii) Social Security Scotland needs further evidence, or (iii) the case was created in error and a payment will never be issued for that case.

Age, sex and local authority are based on the information about the eligible child or young person in receipt of Child Winter Heating Assistance. Further information about recipients such as parents, guardians or appointees is available in the full publication.
