Anyone want £500 ???

[moomoo192]

thought that would get you interested

no seriously, i know some of you are talking about MA etc but do you also know you can apply for a sure start maternity grant??

its a one off payment of £500 for each baby (gr8 if you're expecting twins or more ) that you dont pay back and its to help buy baby things etc.

Just thought i'd mention as even if you've already claimed it previously with one child you can claim it for others too depending on age gap i think.

we are waiting on a disability claim for Paris (she's autistic) so if we get that then we should get the grant
