If you're under age 18, you're eligible for Healthy Start if you're either:
- pregnant
- receiving a qualifying benefit and have a child under the age of 4
If you receive Universal Credit you can apply on our website.
Contact us for an application form if you're pregnant and either:
- receiving another qualifying benefit
- not receiving a qualifying benefit
After your baby is born, you’ll only continue to qualify for Healthy Start if you receive a qualifying benefit.
You must contact us when your baby is born.
To make sure you continue to receive Healthy Start payments once your baby’s born, you must:
- apply for a qualifying benefit
If you do not do this, your payment will stop after your baby’s due date.
