Important changes to eligibility regulations for the ILA 200 are announced

As well as a name change to 'Skills Development Scotland ILA' The scheme is going to introduce additional eligibility criteria from 1 July 2012.

Current eligibility criteria for ILA Scotland account applications:
• must be 16 years old or over
• must be ordinarily resident in Scotland
• must have an income of £22,000 a year or less, or in receipt of benefits.

Additional criteria to be applied to applicants as of 1 July 2012:
