Sure Start Maternity Grant for all parents of multiples regardless of income
My twins were born on 5th August 2015 and I have recently received a rejection letter for this grant. Why? Because I don't recieve benefits.
Let's change this and help the hardworking people that have multiples, regardless of their income.
You could get a one-off payment of £500 to help towards the costs of having a child. This is known as a Sure Start Maternity Grant.
You usually qualify for the grant if you’re expecting your first child - or you’re expecting a multiple birth (eg twins) and have children already and you already get certain benefits.
This penalises those that have multiples but aren't on benefits - let's change it!

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
I'm sorry - we cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:
