Contact Social Security Scotland
If you need to contact Social Security Scotland, you can by phone or by post.
By phone
Freephone: 0800 182 2222 (8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday) - if you're a British Sign Language user, you can use the contactSCOTLAND app to contact Social Security Scotland by video relay.
We've changed our phone service
You can still call us between 8am and 6pm Monday to Friday, but you'll not be able to speak to someone straight away. Instead, you can leave a message and we'll call you back.
If we do not reach you the first time we call back, we'll try again another 2 times before we stop.
If you haven't heard from us after 2 working days, please call again and leave another message.
Stay safe on the phone
We'll never phone you to take a payment. If you're not sure it is us calling, end the call and contact us on 0800 182 2222. We'll tell you if the call was from us.
