Sure start maternity grant?

Hi ya, Im currently on job seekers allowance so Im entitled to the sure start maternity grant which you claim at 29weeks, £500.. Iv filled out the form, was just wondering do i need to send copies of anything to prove im on job seekers? also how long does it usually take to come through as reallllllyyy need the money to buy the rest of my baby things..

thanks suzanne 29 weeks today. xxx

..

I sent my form off when i was 29 weeks but got a rejection letter as i was on job seekers so had to wait to be moved over to income support which you can also do at 29 weeks then resent it off and got it under 2 weeks it came really fast. just make sure you swap over you job seekers to income support first or they just reject it and then you have to send it again..

Hey

id check about the jobseekers then as my friend had hers and she is on jobseekers also so id double check im on income support but they change it all the time xx
