** Sure Start Maternity Grant £500 ???? **

[charzie]

hey ladies was just wondering if you can claim this when in the middle of changing benifit from jsa to income support. some people say wait till ur actually on income support before puttin in ur claim and some put it in anyway. i had my interview at jobcentre today to finish off the claim. i asked them about sending it off now and he said to?? i did say wil it show that im on a benifit when they make their decison if not il obviously get declined? has anyone been in this situation and whats the best way to go about it thanx. and good luck in ur pregnancies

it asks on form if your waiting for descison on Is or JSA, so would just tick this and send it in...plus there is a section to add any aditional info so would put it i there. congratulations on preg/ baby.
when are you due/had ababy?

You can't get it untill after 29 weeks of pregnancy now.
I applied and they found some problems with the application so I still don't have it at 34 weeks, hopefully soon..
I need to buy a pram!
Don't forget health in pregnancy £190 grant too, and your healthy start tokens to buy milk and fresh fruit and veg with that you'll be entitled to now aswell.
