Sure start grant

I’ve applied for the maternity sure start grant and have received a text saying “We've made a decision on your Sure Start Maternity Grant claim. We'll write to you with further information by 08/09/2024. Please wait for the letter.” Does anyone know if this means I’ve been awarded it or not? Not sure if people receive a different text if it’s been accepted. Just wanting to know people’s experiences Thank you

@chanise Pritchard aw no 😩 Thankyou for getting back to me! I do receive universal credit. I believe you have to be on benefits to get it but I’ve got a feeling it’s been declined with that text x

I just got the payment I don’t remember getting this text

@Shavelle aw right Thankyou!x

It’s abit silly that you have to be on benefits though , being penalised for working , that means you can’t get an extra bit of help 😔, I’m not sure how it works if you get accepted it obviously as I got declined it but could be the same either way x

My text when I got it said an award has been made and will be in my account in 3-5 working days, and that I would have a letter with more information in the next 5 working days

@chanise Pritchard I agree! I’ve only recently started UC but its infuriating that you get no help when you’re working x

@Siobhan Thankyou lovely!x

That could be why you’ve been declined it because a couple of people said that to me if you haven’t received a payment yet or have only had one or two payments they may not award it you and I also applied before my baby was born , so I’ve just recently tried applying again and am waiting on a decision x

@Siobhan how long after sending off your application did you get this?
