Person Centred Planning Grant
Want to apply to the Transition Fund, but not quite sure what to apply for yet or don’t know what your goal is? You can apply for a person centred planning (PCP) grant before you apply for a Transition Fund grant.
Technology Grant
The Transition Fund Technology Grant is a new initiative designed to help combat digital isolation for young people. Applicants can pick a piece of computer technology to help them get online.

Please remember . . .
The ILF Scotland Transition Fund will always try to process your application as quickly as possible. To help us to do this, please ensure you do the following when submitting your application:
- include all of the relevant documents - for instance benefits letters relating to Disability Living Allowance (DLA), Adult Disability Payment (ADP), Child Disability Payment (CDP) or Personal Independent Payment (PIP)
- enclose a completed support template if you don’t have a disability benefit in payment
- provide any quotes required, if the item that you are requesting is not covered by our price guide.
We aim to process applications within 12 weeks when we have all of the necessary information to allow us to do so.
If you require the funds for a specific date then please submit your application at least 12 weeks before the funds are required. This will allow us to process your application and pay the funds, helping you start your chosen activity on time. If you apply any later it is unlikely that the funds will be available when you need them.
If you need more information or help with your application, please give us a call on 0300 200 2022 or email: enquiries@ILF.scot.
