need advice on this maternity grant... I'm just wondering if I will be able to claim it if I'm not working but my partner is and on a decent wage, I looked on the government website and it says I have to be claiming some sort of income to get it, is this true? I wasn't going to apply for it but everyone's saying I should coz everyone else does, so thinking about getting a form and trying :/ tia xxx

😊 Might be worth looking into with your local citizens advice, as there's often something you can claim that you just don't know about. There's also a website you can do a check on, turn2us I think it is. (if you've already done the above then ignore me lol, but just making sure)

According to the list of benefits online, I'm not entitled, but gonna try anyway, as am on other benefits and hubby is only on 15k a year. No harm in trying, worst thing they can do is say no

Sorry if that sounded snotty, wasn't meant to and just read it back to myself😧 Have a look online, you may be entitled depending how much he earns and if you live together or not

@graciesmummy, my midwife told me everybody is entitled to it if you earn less than £16000 a year x

right ok and because he has to pay for everything, all bills, all new things for baby and I feel bad not putting to for anything so that was the only reason I was going to try and get it but if i can't I can't I only asked...

If he earns a decent wage why would you need it?

Most likely your not entitled unless you claim certain benefits and low income

I think you have to be claiming some kind of benefit. It explains who's eligible on the website if you Google it. Xx
