To ask the Scottish Government whether it will review the eligibility criteria for the Self-isolation Support Grant and consider including people who have had COVID-19 vaccines, in light of the First Minister’s announcement that all close contacts of suspected cases of the Omicron variant will be advised to self-isolate for 10 days, regardless of their vaccination status.

The answer

From 30 November 2021 the eligibility criteria for the Self Isolation Support Grant was changed to enable close contacts of someone who has tested positive or has been asked to isolate as part of the exercise within the public health response to the Omicron variant if they have to isolate for the required 10-day period to be eligible.
