- Health in Pregnancy Grant
From April 2009, you may be able to get a one-off, tax-free payment if you're a mum-to-be. The payment is called 'Health in Pregnancy Grant' and you can make a claim for it from 1 January 2009 if your expected delivery date is on or after 6 April 2009. The money is to help you stay well and healthy and to meet extra costs during the later stages of your pregnancy.
Who can get the
Grant?
You can get the Grant if all of the following apply:
- you are 25 weeks pregnant or more
- your expected date of delivery is on or after 6 April
2009
- you have been given health advice from a midwife or
doctor to help you and your unborn baby stay healthy during pregnancy
- be present, 'ordinarily resident' and have a ‘right to
reside’ in the UK - 'Ordinarily resident' will depend on your
circumstances but it usually means your main home is here
How much do you
get?
You
can get a one-off payment of £190 for each pregnancy.
You can get a one-off payment of £190 for each pregnancy. If you're expecting more than one baby, for example twins or triplets, only one grant of £190 is payable.
The payment will be on top of any other benefits or tax credits you may get. Everyone will get the same amount - you will not be asked about your income.
How is the Grant
paid?
The Grant will be paid directly into your bank or building society account any time from April 2009 onwards.
