Just looked at the site and it says we'll get payments in April directly into bank. Has anyone had theirs yet?
Not sure about mine, I'll check bank tomorrow.

bump

sent of form at 28wks/24th march am 32wks desperate for the cash, not got the money to top up my phone to find out if theyve got it.

What appears to be the most recent date someone has applied and got the money?

kiltycoldbum · 23/04/2009 11:46

please someone answer me!

GazelleH · 23/04/2009 13:20

I applied at the end of Feb and got mine this week. If you sent it off late March then I expect you'll be getting it in a couple of weeks.

You could try ringing the HiPG Helpline on 0845 366 7885.

Or here's the link to their site.

Hope it comes for you soon KCB!

No mum09, definitely no letter just a random £190 into bank.

ginmama · 23/04/2009 13:52

If you need to phone the helpline 02920501178 is an alternative no from the saynoto0870 website, just tried it and got straight through to a real person. Still not much help (midwife signed form 1 day too early so wasn't 25wks preg, baby now here so can't send another form in ) but at least the call was cheaper

GazelleH · 23/04/2009 17:46

mum09 - My letter came today.....2 days after the payment.

Holly1988 · 23/04/2009 18:53

Hi there ladies im just new on here!! :-)
I have been a bit worried about the grant too, as i sent mine off at 26 weeks and im now 36 weeks, i havent heard anything or recieved the payment.
I have tried ringing loads ov times but cant get to actually speak to someone i just want to know that they have recieved my form.
Anybody else sent thiers around this time and recieved thiers????
Thanks xxx

lilmushroombear · 28/04/2009 12:25

Hi just wondered i phoned today about my claim and was told it had been awarded but i will have to wait another 14 days before i get paid.(shock) Can anyone else who has been awarded tell me how long they have had to wait for the funds to go in their accounts as this sounds a very long time to wait i posted my form on the 28 march so i have not waited as long as some people i just wanted to know how long other people have been told to wait. thanks

Effielou · 28/04/2009 13:17

Hello.

I sent mine off on the 8th April ( 28 weeks ) and now 31 weeks due to problems in last pregnancy I have to be delivered at 36/37 weeks!!! If I have baby before its awarded- does it mean I won't get it!!! I'm really confused. I'm not banking on it but could do with it!! IYKWIM xxx

brettgirl2 · 28/04/2009 13:54

Baby arrival is irrelevant Effie.

Effielou · 28/04/2009 13:57

Thank-you xxx So many people have told me different things and with baby brain- my minds in overdrive.

shellmc · 28/04/2009 14:03

Gillyan · 30/04/2009 19:28

Got mine today! No letter or anything it's just gone in my bank!!!

I'm 30 wks PG and I sent it off exactly 5 weeks ago.

I must say I am pretty impressed with them, I never have any trouble with Tax Credits or anything, I must just be in a good area or aomething!

magnummum · 30/04/2009 21:31

Mine was paid in this week!

JetLi · 01/05/2009 09:09

Sweetie34 · 01/05/2009 11:08

I called the 02 number and was told teh payment had been made. Received it inmy account approx 2 days later. I was told to expect a letter AFTER the payment had been made. Still haven't received that.
