Yeo xx

it’s only Wednesday and Monday was a bank holiday. So you’re probably looking up until next Monday to receive it x

It’s working days, so you’re only on day 2. Next Monday is day 5.

you wouldn’t of had it yet it only classes working days so it’s been the weekend plus a bank hoilday Monday so latest you should get it is Friday x

Thanks everyone 😂 xx

Yes

What’s this? Does everyone get xx

Goggle maternity grant, will tell you if you can get it. X

@Katherine if baby is under 6 months I believe you can try again but don't hold me to that. X

yes anyone can apply. First child £500. Second child £300 I think.

Is this only for people on UC ?

only if you're eligible, so you have to be receiving benefits. For example if you aren't right now, wait until you start mat leave and if you become entitled to UC (and there are other things too) they'll grant it to you but you need to be claiming already

not just UC, there are a few different things, I would recommend looking into what if any benefits you're eligible for when starting Mat leave & then if they align with the maternity grants eligibility. Google "maternity grants" for full info

I got the payment guys!

Look up The grant if haven already x

Hey, how long was the time frame from that first text and second text? (28day text to the second text you received)😅

How long after you posted your letter did it take for them to contact you?

I sent my matb1 and grant forms off to DWP on 22nd of april. I received my matb1 back on the 29th of April with a note with it saying they are reviewing my application (no texts). I then received a text yesterday morning saying I have been awarded the grant and would get it in 3-5 working days, along with my decision letter within 5 working days.

I was already claiming one of the benefits listed so I didn’t realise there were requirements. I automatically received it. At least I know now. Thanks hun
