Has anyone been paid this yet? I sent off my form a few weeks ago and haven't heard anything.Thanks xx

Don't think they are paying out till the new financial year ie after 6th April. I heard that we can expect it in our accounts some time in May.

My midwife hasn't had the forms in yet so I'm hoping to get mine at my 32 week appt. She thought payments weren't being made until May though...

I was going to ask the exact same question!

I have filled in and sent my forms so I guess I just sit tight and wait!

mrskuk · Mar 10, 2009 9:52AM

i phoned yesterday and asked, and was told payments wouldnt be given out until may!!

- even though last month it was april they said!! :roll:

Tracey_and_Baby · Mar 10, 2009 11:21AM

Yeah I have been told April. Even though the forms actually promise the money within 31 days of application?!?!

If it was in America or Canada I bet we would already have our money! Typical government didn't plan on the thousands of women applying for th grant at the same time! Another great british plan!

louis2 · Mar 10, 2009 1:13PM

Thanks for your eplies ladies. I know it's great we're getting a grant but it's a bit diappointing that they will take so long. You'd think they would be ready to roll with everything as soon as they started giving forms out! I was hoping to use it to buy some baby bits, but i'll need to get them sooner than May in case he arrives early!!

Typical british government!

carlyfee · Mar 10, 2009 2:56PM

i heard payments from the 6th of April but i suspect with the amount of applications it will take quite a while to get to everyone! I'm due 21st of April! it's supposed to be for health in pregnancy mine will have to be for health after pregnancy!lol

Amber-Lous-Mum · Mar 10, 2009 4:42PM

I was wondering whe I could ask about this as Im only 5 weeks but if its not till 25 weeks I might as well put it to the back of my mind for now lol
