THIS IS ONLY A GRABIT IF YOU ARE EXPECTING A CHILD AFTER APRIL 6TH 2009

Not sure if this has been posted

From April 2009, you can claim a one-off, tax-free payment from H M Revenue & Customs (HMRC) if you're a mum-to-be who's at least 25 weeks pregnant. The payment is called 'Health in Pregnancy Grant' and is to help you prepare for the birth of your baby.

Your due date needs to be on or after 6 April 2009 for you to make a claim.

Who can get Health in Pregnancy Grant?

You can get the grant if all of the following apply:

• you are 25 weeks pregnant or more
• your expected date of delivery is on or after 6 April 2009
• you have been given health advice from a midwife or doctor

you may not get the grant if:

• you are subject to immigration control or
• you are not present, ordinarily resident or have a right to reside in the UK

How much do you get?

The grant will be a one-off payment of £190 for each pregnancy. It will not affect your tax credits or any other benefits. Everyone will get the same amount – you will not be asked about your income.

Thanks for this. We are trying for a baby at the minute but no joy yet! Does anyone know if this is a temporary scheme or a long term initiative.

It is so refreshing to be awarded some money that isn't means tested!!
