Poor Smartie you seem to be having a rough time all through your pregnancy *hugs*

Does anyone know whether you can get the surestart grant if your OH claims Job seekers? I dont think we will qualify as I work but I am on a low income. He doesnt even claim it atm, but I thought it might make him do it as atm he is just claiming nothing, earning nothing...

I'm so bored in work, I just wana start my leave early but cant with stupid OH not working, 2 and a half months to go

Who is eligible?

You can get a Sure Start Maternity Grant if you or your partner receive any of the following:

• Income Support
• income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit at a rate higher than the family element
• Working Tax Credit where a disability or severe disability element is included in the award

and if one of the following applies to you:

• you or your partner are pregnant and expecting a baby within 11 weeks or have given birth within the last three months
• you or your partner have adopted a child, or in certain circumstances have been granted a residence order for a child, within the last three months and the child is less than one year old
• you and your husband or wife have been granted a parental order for a surrogate birth within the last three months
• you or your partner are getting benefit for a dependant under the age of 20 who is pregnant and expecting a baby within 11 weeks or has given birth within the last three months

The term partner is used here to mean:

• a person you are married to or a person you live with as if you are married to them, or
• a civil partner or a person you live with as if you are civil partners

[STRIKE]Morning [/STRIKE]whoops I mean afternoon ladies:D I actually had work to do this morning:j but it's all done now so you lot get the pleasure of my presence this afternoon:rotfl:

CAFC that is soooooo nice of your friend:D I'm not surprised it made you wanna blub:)

Smartie Eek!! Glad alls ok now and bless DH for thinking about magazines for you..slightly random but still very sweet :D

I picked up the freecycle baby rocker last night..gotta say I'm impressed:) its in fab condition just needs a ruddy good wash! so thats my aim for tonight, restoring it to it's former glory:D here's a pic of what I got except it's brown & cream and not that clean... yet:p:rotfl: saved me £35ish so can't complain:D

KK I'd give your OH a kick up the butt and make him go sign on for JSA! Yeah I admit it's not much but it all helps, especially with bubba on the way!

Hope alls well with everyone and congrats to MGEB:D:D Can't wait for piccies of the little man who's kept us all waiting:p:rotfl:

I cant claim WTC as I am 24 (think you have to be 25) or under 25 with kids, unless this has changed?!?! Might try to get him to claim JSA, even tho he is against claiming anything, I think we will need him to, and if there is a chance of getting the surestart grant, well even better!

Thanks for that link Cafc, I wonder if I can convince him to sign on??
