Sure Start Maternity Grant

Post by Tellmemore » Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:09 pm

Hello

I'm married to a Turkish national. We're both living here in UK and he's on a 'leave to enter' visa for the 5 year route (no recourse to benefits/work permitted)

We're 5 months pregnant. Am i/are we allowed to apply for the Sure Start Maternity Grant? We're wondering if it would affect his visa.

If you are a settled person/British citizen then can claim any public fund in your name without affecting the visa of your dependant. Sure start maternity grant is only a one off payment for those who are already claiming few public funds. You can read about it at following link:
