How to Fill in Sure Start Maternity Grant Form?

The applicant is supposed to provide the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) with the following information:

1. Personal Information. In the first part of the document, the applicant is required to provide their personal information and information about their partner (if applicable). It includes their names, dates of births, national insurance numbers, and contact details.
2. Benefits, Entitlements, and Payments Information. The applicant should designate whether they or their partner is receiving any of the benefits listed on the forms (Universal Credit, Child Tax Credit, Income Support, Pension Credit, etc.). If the applicant (or their partner) is currently in the process of applying for any of the listed benefits and has yet to hear about their claim, they should state this fact as well.
3. Information About the Baby. If the applicant is expecting a baby, they can use this section of the form to designate to the DWP when they are expecting a baby and how many babies are expected. If the baby has already been born, the applicant must state their date of birth. If the applicant became responsible for a baby due to different circumstances (adoption, parental order, legal guardianship) they must describe their case in detail.
4. Details About Other Children in the Household . If the household includes other children that are under 16 years old (apart from the baby stated in the previous section), the applicant can use this part of the application to provide information about these children. The required information includes the names and dates of births of all children and their relationship to the applicant or their partner.

Where Do I Send My Sure Start Maternity Grant Form?

According to the official website of the government of the United Kingdom, after the applicant has completed their Form SF100 and received a statement from a doctor or a midwife (if applicable), they are supposed to submit the claim to the DWP. They can do it by taking the form to the nearest Jobcentre Plus office or by posting it to the DWP's address (Freepost DWP SSMG). Applicants do not need to use a postcode or a stamp when posting the form to the DWP by using the Freepost address.

The applicant will then receive a letter that will state whether the claim was successful. If necessary, the applicant can challenge the DWP's decision. Visit the official website of the government of the United Kingdom or contact the DWP to find out more about asking for mandatory reconsideration.
