If you are in receipt of income support you can apply when you are about 28 weeks pregnant and you will receive a sure start grant of £500 when you are about 31 weeks contact your local job center plus they will give you any details you need or look on the website www.dwp.gov.uk but your doctor or midwife has to sign a part in the form to confirm you have been recieveing health care and to confirm your due date good luck

The maternity grant depends on your income and what benefits you are on. I have been turned down once because I was on the wrong benefit - Incapacity - you need to be on income support or job seekers allowance or get £496 in child tax or working tax credits. I have just posted mine off today as I now have tax credits and have more money, so therefore am more needy!! Go figure! You get up to £500 maternity grant though.

You get £500, I think it's any mother that gets that, not just single parents, I got it whilst I was working full time about to go on maternity leave!

to be able to qualify for the maternity grant you have to either be claiming income support, working tax credit, child tax crdit with the higher family element or jsa! you must also claim 11 weeks before baby is born or you have 3 months after baby is born, i think its just gone up to £550.. aswell but not sure, hope that helps!

properly, at the same time as they sense a prefer to convey into the international, and take care of a baby, and are able to attempt this, then it really is not any longer a foul component. It would not inevitably recommend denying their baby a father for his or her complete life, yet no matter if plainly way, it really is not any longer the worst component a baby can adventure. Many boost up only fantastic, or have father figures that fill lots of the jobs of fairly fathers. You look to imagine that a woman could no longer be allowed to make this selection. Too undesirable. At this factor, the authorities does no longer legislate this; nor could they. Uh, and it really is not any longer that they "devoid of be conscious understand they prefer to have a toddler to sense purpose of their life" a lot as do not ignore that it really is now or not in any respect for them to have a baby. in spite of everything, that clock is authentic: there's a ultimate date (although at the same time as it really is, precisely, is unknowable).
