Hello,
A while ago one of you VERY nice ladies alerted me to the fact that there is a new grant available to ALL pregnant women as of April this year.
This grant has now all been approved and you can claim now! (But its the Government so please don't expect any money until May!).
A few details:
The idea is for it to help finance a healthy eating regime
It is available to ALL pregnant women, irrispective of your income/benefits
Its a one off payment/grant paid into your bank account
Conditions:
You must be 25 weeks + pregnant
Your due date must be after 6 April 2009
You have been given health advice from a Midwife/Doctor during pregnancy
How to claim:
You can claim now in advance of its introduction in April
You need to obtain a form from the Midwife/Doctor who will need to complete their part
My Advice:
My Midwife knew nothing about this new grant and they need to request the forms from the Government in order for you to claim! Tell your Doctor/Midwife/Health Advisor asap and don't miss out! Also tell all other pregnant women you know who are due after April 6th!
More information can be found at www.hmrc.gov.uk/hipg
I hope this is of help to you all
