About Course
The Sure Start Maternity Grant is a one-off £500 payment to help with the costs of a new baby for families on certain benefits. This course explains who can get it, the “first child” rule and its exceptions, the deadline for claiming, and what is available instead in Scotland.
Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information about benefits and is not financial advice. Always check current eligibility on GOV.UK, mygov.scot or nidirect.
