Do me a favour: if you know someone who has gone out socialising tonight, text them and tell them that I would willingly take them to intensive care in 8 days' time but there might not be a ventilator left by then, so it's up to them, really. STAY INDOORS. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Tremendous design

Just had call with over 1000 Social Security Scotland and Scottish Government Social Security Directorate staff to answer their questions and thank them for all their work in these unprecedented times. Proud of all of you!

Well done!

The most Scottish hi-viz vests you will ever see. #Scotland #ScottishTwitter #ScottishPeopleTwitter

Proud of all my ex-colleagues working at the sharp end in DWP - not the least bit surprised to hear how hard you all worked to get money to those in need #BeatCOVID19

Delighted to announce proposals for an Additional Coronavirus Carers Allowance Supplement of £230.10 as an acknowledgement to carers that we know that you are doing even more right now, and we thank you. This is in addition to CAS payment already due in June.

In case you missed what was said....

Those getting Carer’s Allowance from DWP and living in Scotland on 13 April will automatically receive a Carer’s Allowance Supplement payment in June. The exact date for this has not been announced yet, but we will share this with clients next week.

Please continue to follow these rules if you’re meeting another household today. And please don’t travel more than 5 miles for recreation. Also, don’t crowd into tourist/beauty spots. If the place you want to go is crowded, please leave. This is for the safety of all of us. 🙏

So so proud of our joint achievement on our journey to deliver a people focused Social Security Agency for Scotland @IBM_iX Social Security Scotland Scottish Government

Congratulations to everyone behind this award. Well deserved recognition for all the work being done to deliver a social security system Scotland can be proud of 👏👏👏👏

£10 per week per child under 6 Scottish Child Payment opening for applications in November with first payments at end of February. A ‘game-changing’ action by Scottish Government to tackle child poverty.

Great challenge to get out of lockdown! My friend Helen Tomison is walking 100 miles in March with a few other for Gordon Cowan Memorial Fancy giving them a boost and help raise funds for the very special Beatson Cancer Charity ?? 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️#charity #fundraiser #walking

A great challenge for a good cause x

I will be walking to support this great cause, please donate if you can justgiving.com/fundraising/go…

I’m so pleased that Child Disability Payment is now available to eligible families all over Scotland! This is a significant milestone in the introduction of our new social security system.❤️ Thank you & congrats to all at Scot Gov Fairer & Social Security Scotland who’ve made this happen.👏🏻

This is courage, my 7 year old son who has autism, adhd,pica who couldn't cope a listening to singing ,nursery rhymes, even hearing Happy Birthday. Without having his ear defenders on. Then he discovered scottish folk songs. He is is winning the medal at his school. Clearly....
