How long did it take you to receive your Health in Pregnancy Grant?

Just wondering if anyone has received their Health in Pregnancy grant (£190) yet? How long after sending off the form did you receive it?

Starting maternity leave next week and worried about how long it will take me to get Maternity Allowance (with my last son, it took about 2 months!!!) so hoping I'll get the HiPG soon to tide me over.

I sent my form off very early in the New Year (I remember having my MW appt on NYE) and received the payment 2-3 weeks later. It was much quickeer than I expected.

Yup, my Health in Pregnancy grant came through in about two or three weeks as well. Still waiting to hear about Maternity Allowance though, which took about 3 months last time, so not holding my breath...

My HiP was paid about 10 days after I sent the form off.....

Mine was about 2 weeks later if that

Mine was a couple of weeks - nearly fell over at the speed. I am a tax advisor by trade and unaccustomed to HMRC diong anything correctly or speedily

Can't remember how long it took, but know I was very pleasantly surprised.
