im 7 mths pregnant, and my other half works earning 21,000 last year i dont work but get tax credits of 2755 and have 2 children can i claim the sure start maternity grant? any help would be such a help thanks:\)
if you get tax credits above the basic ammount then you are entitled. both times i applied i was told i didn't qualify but i did they were just wrong so i reapplied/contested it and i was entitled so i did get it. its definately worth pursuing! good luck
i did that today and there was no joy, but i did notice on dwp webpage that it said legislation (2) 2008-09 tax reward of ??548 or ??1095 for a baby under 1 not sure what that ment but if they tell me no and i appeal and still say no can i reapply when baby is born
everyone can get it after a birth because everyone is entitled to child tax credits, at the higher rate because they have a baby under one, unless they earn a silly amount like 100k+ a year... so theoretically everyone is entitled to the ssmg once their baby is born xxxx
So.... is it better to wait until after baby is born than try to claim it in the 11wks before birth ? I was going to get the forms next wk but if there's a better chance of qualifying then I'll wait until after. do you just go along to the job centre and fill in the forms ? S x
hi im so annoyed as i had applied for this but was told we couldnt have it as both of us work but do get ctc, they should make this so much clearer as this would have helped us greatly! my Lo is now 7months so far too late.
