having a baby and benefits?
#1
I am sure I read somewhere that the govt has decided to give new moms some sort of once off grant of around £500.... but for the life of me I cannot seem to find it.... does anyone know what I am talking about?

I have a pregnant friend who could really do with a bit of a financial boost.... so anyone else who has any ideas let me know!
To regret past mistakes is to live them over again....... move on and live your life without regret!

The £300 Sure Start Maternity Grant is for people on low income. You can get a Sure Start Maternity Grant if you or your partner are getting:

Income Support;
income-based JobseekerÂ’s Allowance;
Working FamiliesÂ’ Tax Credit; or
Disabled PersonÂ’s Tax Credit;

Details of rules for applying & to download an application form, click here.

I got the maternity grant because of a nasty employer.

I had worked for him for 5 years etc....he should have paid me maternity leave but refused. By law he should have found work for me to do... I worked with learning disabled young adults and really when pregnant, it's not the best job to do. anyway, I was forced to resign and therefore had no income. Due to my partner working, I was not entitled to any benefit. But Iwas the maternity thingie. It's worth looking into. You will need your pregnancy certificate but I would photo copy it as they do have a tendency to lose them!
In love there are two things - bodies and words.
