Hi girls

Im de in Nov can you please let me know what i am entitled to and when? Weboth work and not on whats classed as a low income. Do we still get a grant? xx

Hiya. You'll be entitled to HIP grant of ??190 after 29 weeks I think it is. There are also family/child/working tax credits which are means tested & child benefit. Have a look at directgov website, thats helpful. Theres also a ??500 surestart grant that is worth applying for.

the HIP grant of ??190 at 25 weeks you will be entitled to, once baby is here you will be able to recieve child benefit at around ??80 per month, depending on what your household income is you may get tax credits or child tax credits, this is means tested, i dont think you will qualify for any if you earn over 40k per annum between you both. You say you are not on a low income so i doubt you will qualify for the surestart grant, i beleive you need to be on a very low income or recieving benefits of some kind.
