Scottish Government Cost Of Living Award

Does anyone know if the Scottish Governments £150 Cost of Living Award that has been credited to my Dads Council Tax Bill is instead of the £150 Council Tax rebate from the UK Government or do low income households get both ? 
Thank You For Your Help.

    It's instead of - the 'UK Government' award is just for England  - Scotland (and Wales?)  have their own schemes.

    Thank You p00hsticks.  I thought it must be instead of. Receiving two payments would just have been too good to be true !!
