£190 Health Maternity Grant
Had visited the midwife today at the surgery...
She gave me a form to be filled in... and aparently I am entitled to be receiving £190 as Maternity Grant anytime soon (once the form was successfully received) this is really new and will take effect in April...
For more info:

For expectant mums, ask your midwife for the form!

also depending on your income , you might be able to claim Sure Start Maternity Grant
it's £500 but if you qualify you must claim it during the period from 11 weeks before the baby is due until the baby is 3 months old.

£190 grant can be claimed by any expectant mums, working or not...
while
£500 grant - are those for low income? or on income support et al?
You, or your partner, must be getting one of these benefits:
1) Income Support
2) income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
3) income-related Employment and Support Allowance
4) Pension Credit
5) Working Tax Credit which includes a disability or severe disability element
6) Child Tax Credit, at a higher rate than the family element
so it is then a great advantage for those who are claiming benefits (enumerated above) £190 + £500 = £690.00 THAN those who are not?
Hmmm... please correct me if I am wrong...

the sure start one is meant for those who are on low income, who would struggle to buy cot, clothes etc for a new baby, and who wants to be on a low income

am i entitled to get that £190 grant too?
according to the website::
you may not get the grant if:
* you are subject to immigration control or
* you are not present, ordinarily resident or have a right to reside in the UK
my husband thinks that i am subject to immigration control... is this right?
so we're not sure if we can get that grant or not.

What about us men? Aren't we entitled to anything??? After all, there would be no pregnancy without us!! This smacks of an equality issue!!
I claim the right to have the same as women (even though I haven't got a womb) but, surely that is God's fault and not mine!!!
(Sorry God - not blaming you but just trying to be PC here - after all - you started it!!)

... true...
those who are on Income Support/unemployed, they do not have SMPs unlike working mums...
we will see... hehe... since I have just sent the form yesterday, we shall see...
definitely, a £190quid will be such a great help... buying new born nappies or even a cot
coool
ermmm... lol... the £190 is for the baby stuff lol ...
Baby = the product of mum+dad hehehe...
any amount is indeed a big help... even if it's £5... aren't we very privilege having lots of benefits?
salamat po!

When you're not subject to 'immigration control'
You're not subject to immigration control if any of the following applies:
you’re a UK national
you’re from the EEA or Switzerland
you’ve claimed asylum and you have been told by the Home Office that you can stay in the UK as a refugee
the Home Office has told you that you are allowed to stay in the UK indefinitely – known as 'indefinite leave to remain'

That's great!
Hope I'll get mine too
We're also planning to do that. We just applied for Isaac's child benefit, just waiting for the result and the child benefit number so we can apply the child trust fund.
That will be the start for us saving money for him too and can't touch it until he's 18yrs. old. at least there's something for him to look forward to, in the future
