The £190 'health in pregnancy' grant, a few questions.

[TotorosOcarina]

Hiya,

I read this is being stopped in April 2011.

I'm due by LMP on April 22nd, but think I will be put back a week at the scan to april 28th.

Will I be eligible for it? I keep reading different things.

When can you apply for it? If my due date Does stay in April do I apply x weeks before?

Sorry its just really hard to find any concrete information.

Thanks.

You apply for it once you get to 25 weeks (MW has to certify your form) but I am not sure what the cut off date for eligibility is - sorry.

You get the HIP grant during your pregnancy - and quite early on from what I remember? My MW gave me the application forms etc (submitted round 26 weeks I think?)

have to be 25 weeks by 1 January2011.

im 25 weeks on the 6th jan

so i miss out?

looks that way but you never know - your scan may put you earlier than you think - mine has my EDD 8 days earlier and I know for definite that it is wrong.

hmm, yea,

will see what they say,

thankyou :)
