Scottish Welfare Fund Statistics: annual update 2022-2023

The annual update of Scottish Welfare Fund Statistics for 2022-23. This includes annual statistics on Community Care Grants and Crisis grants from 2013, as well as quarterly breakdowns from 2018.


Since April 2013, there have been 31,910 Tier 1 reviews for Community Care Grants, and 44,615 for Crisis Grants (Table 55). Just under half of decisions have been revised at this stage for both Community Care Grants (47%) and Crisis Grants (42%) (Table 56).

Since April 2013, around 75% of Tier 1 reviews for Community Care Grants have been made within the 15 working day target, while around 87% of Tier 1 reviews for Crisis Grants have been made within the two working day target (Table 57). East Ayrshire have not been able to supply information on review processing times, which accounts for a further 2% Community Care Grants and less than 1% Crisis Grants where it is unknown if reviews were made within target times.
