Where child winter heating assistance is payable in respect of a F1child or young person, the Scottish Ministers may, where they consider it appropriate, make the payment to another person to be used for the benefit of the F1child or young person.

Where the Scottish Ministers consider, for any reason, that it is no longer appropriate for a particular person who falls within paragraph (1) to continue to receive the payment, they may cease making payment to that person and pay it instead to the young person or another person.
