Sure Start Grant
Hi girls!
I've read you can only claim this if you are on:
Income Support
income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Pension Credit
Working Tax Credit which includes a disability or severe disability element
Child Tax Credit, at a higher rate than the family element
I work full time & both Me & OH are on low incomes, would this mean we are eligable to claim or not? I'm confused!!
Thanks

I know your a fellow julyer but cant remember if you have any children. I was unsure about this too, i have a daughter but the need to have a child tax credit higher than the family element confused me.
so i found this,
Child Tax Credit Elements (Info)
The Child Tax Credit ( CTC) elements are
The family element. This is an element paid to each family that is entitled to CTC, regardless of the number of children or young people in the family. To be entitled to the family element of CTC, the family must include at least one eligible child or young person
The baby element. This is an element paid, in addition to the family element, to each family that includes at least one eligible child who is under the age of one.
The baby element is paid up until the youngest child's 1st birthday
The child element. This is an individual element of CTC paid in respect of each child included in a family
The young person element. This is an individual element of CTC paid in respect of each young person included in a family
The disability element. This is an addition to the child / young person element and is paid in respect of each disabled child or young person included in a family
The severe disability element. This is an additional element paid in respect of each severely disabled child or young person included in a family
my daughter is autistic and we get the disabled element too, so i would asume we would get the grant.
For yourself, if you can not get the grant now, once baby is born you will get the baby element as well as the family element too ( as above) i may be right in that you could then claim the grant after your tax credit is sorted out. hope that helps. x
