Sure Start Grant

[Ebony_Mommy]

I'm aware that if you're on a low income or un-employed, you are qualified for this grant.

I know you can claim from 29 weeks, but does anyone know how long they take to actually issue a payment?

When I applied for mine I got it within a week.

 

[Ebony_Mommy]

[Ebony_Mommy]

[Sarah&Braydon]

i didnt get it

I think the only way i'll get it is once i've have bubs and am on SMP then that'll be classed as a low income and hopefully i'll qualify for it then, as i don't at the moment, although the help would be excellent.

That's what I'm having to do, I work full time at the mo so don't qualify until after bubs arrives.

It's a pain in the bum really, when they know we are gonna be on a low income soon enough anyways!!
