Has anyone applied for the maternity grant and how long did it take to receive the payment? Sent of…

I was declined ,reason - not on benefits ... Wtf is wrong with this county ? 😡 waited for an answer for about 2 weeks xx @jordan1410

Wtf, that's stupid asf! I think I'm aloud to claim the maternity grant just wondering how long it would take @polisha0311 xx

The rules are stupid now @polisha0311

I no 😕 I sent them a letter back saying - so what ,if I need this money to buy baby stuff but I'm not scumming the government I'm not allowed to get it ? Ha ha no answer still ,and that was like 2 weeks ago 😃😃 @jordan1410

maybe ring them find out what's going on @jordan1410 I can't even get it this time with it been my second but if i was having twins be a different story it's disgusting if u ask me xx

They're stupid @polisha0311 and I will do, I'll ring them tomorrow @bump2016 I looked online and everyone said it took like a week but I haven't heard anything back yet so I'll ask them what's going on xx

@polisha0311, that's the same reason me and my OH were declined it! And because we were both in full time work at the time of application!! xx

It is disgusting @bump2016 uk government rather pay all this money to some scumbags @emmy_lou

I was told by the grant people that once baby is born and I start claiming child benefit, you can re-apply for it! @polisha0311 xx

Oh that's good ,I will try again ,Tnx 😊 xxx @emmy_lou
