"With Healthy Start, you can get free vouchers every week which you swap for milk, fresh fruit, fresh vegetables and infant formula milk. You can also get free vitamins. Healthy Start replaces the Welfare Food Scheme.

Pregnant or have children under four? You could qualify if you're on benefits or you're pregnant and under 18."

I get these & I am not on IS. We get them because we claim CTC but NOT WTC (I only work 14 hours per week)

I get £2.80 for my 3 year old and £5.60 for the baby. They take them in Asda & Tesco, and our milkman accepts them too.

I got sent through a months worth at a time, well worth doing as it will save on the housekeeping bill...
