Pregnant women can claim a one-off tax-free payment

Reminder: Pregnant women can claim a one-off tax-free payment called “Health in Pregnancy Grant” if they are at least 25 weeks old. Expectant mums can spend the money anyway they like. The benefit does not affect tax credits or any other benefits. A claim form can be obtained from a doctor or midwife. The form will need to be sent to HMRC within a month or the grant may be missed.
