Coping with the extra costs of a new baby can be difficult, especially if you’re on a low income. There’s a grant to help you give your baby a positive start in life. It’s called the Sure Start Maternity Grant.
The grant is made from the Social Fund and you do not have to pay it back. The Sure Start Maternity Grant is available from the Department of Work and Pensions.
You can get a Sure Start Maternity Grant if you or your partner are getting:
Income Support
Income based Jobseeker's Allowance
Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit which includes an amount higher that the family element or
Working Tax Credit where a disability or severe disability element is included in the award.
