I have sent off my maternity grant form last Wednesday and had a text message today saying they have received my application And they will make a decision in the next 10 working days, I'm worried as I don't know if I be able to get it even though the lady said on the phone I'm eligible for it the situation is this:
I am 30 weeks pregnant I have 3 other children but do not live with me I haven't claimed for any of them before for maternity grant,I don't receive any child benefit And child tax obviously because they am not in my care I live alone recieve income based esa never worked my income is not a lot of course I live by myself my unborn baby will be the only child in my home it is really worrying me as I rely on the grant and it will get me everything I need for her what do you think? Is anyone in same situation? Thanks
