Our Transition Fund helps young disabled people in Scotland with the transition after leaving school or children’s services. Open to people between 16-25, offering up to £4000 in funding.
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.
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.
