Pregnancy grants

[clpsmum]

I read somewhere all pregnant women are entitled to a one of payment of £190 but now cant find the article so not sure how to go about claiming! any help appreciated xxx

There's a link here on the Directgov website.

Its called the Health In Pregnancy Grant and all pregnant woman are entitled to it from 25 weeks pregnant.

Your midwife/Doctor will give you the form and partially complete and sign it for you when you are 25 weeks pregnant.

It takes about 10 days to go into your bank and is NOT means tested.

Just had mine a month ago

The health in preg grant is being discontinued - don't know when from though

I think it is from Jan next year but double check this.

Being abolished April 2011
