Health in Pregnancy Grant

13.The health in pregnancy grant was introduced in April 2009; it is a lump sum payment to almost all expectant women, made once they satisfy prescribed conditions as to the stage of their pregnancy, having received appropriate maternal health advice from health professionals.  Entitlement also relies upon a woman being in the United Kingdom at the time of her claim to the grant.  The conditions in which a person is to be treated as being, or not being, in the United Kingdom are prescribed in regulations.  The health in pregnancy grant is not a taxable benefit.
