If your qualifying benefit has changed to Universal Credit (UC), contact us to update your NHS Healthy Start claim

If you're still eligible, you can apply online once:

  • your children are added and verified to your UC claim
  • you’ve received your first UC payment

If you're receiving UC but your claim has changed, your NHS Healthy Start payments will stop when:

  • you’ve changed from a single claim to a joint claim
  • you’ve changed from a joint claim to a single claim
  • your family’s total take home pay is over £408

Your payments will restart:

  • once you've received your first UC payment
  • if your details match what we hold for you
  • if you meet the eligibility criteria
  • if it’s been less than 16 weeks since your payments stopped
