<div data-wrapper="true" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: "Segoe UI", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif"> <p>A single, one-off maternity payment of £300 may be provided to new mothers receiving asylum support to help with the costs arising from the birth of a new baby.</p> <p>The application must be made in writing no earlier than eight weeks before the baby is born and no later than six weeks after the baby is born. You must include evidence of the date of expected birth (MATB1 form), or the child’s full birth certificate.<br> <br>Payment should be made to the value of £300 per child, so if twins are due, £600 will be paid.</p> <p>If you are receiving Section 4 support, request £250 no earlier than eight weeks before the baby is due or no later than six weeks after the baby is born.</p> <p>All women who are receiving asylum support and are pregnant or have children under three years of age are entitled to additional payments. When your baby is under one year old, you will receive an extra £5 per week on top your normal payments, and £3 for each child aged one to three.</p> </div>
