Will i be entitled to a sure start maternity grant? -

im 29 weeks pregnant, my partner was paid off 2 months ao so we are on benefits(he s looking for work by all means). Iv got the form for a ssmp grant, but it says about your tax credits awards, i got a letter from inland revenue sayin i was overpaid,and that i have to pay it back.will this affect me claiming the for the grant?

yes you will be, if your partner is recieving job seekers then you will be entitled to it, esp if neither of you are working, they will just need proof of his jobseekers which they will look up via his national insurance number. They will not be bothered if you are over paid tax credits, so apply for it now and you will receive the money into your account within 10 days.
