Changes to Best Start Foods
From 26 February 2024, Best Start Foods entitlement is changing.
Previously if you claimed certain benefits you also had to be below a certain income level to qualify. This is changing from 26 February as no income limits will then apply for those in receipt of Tax Credits or Universal Credit. Working Tax Credit will now also be a qualifying benefit for Best Start Foods.
If you previously did not qualify due to the income limit on Tax Credit and Universal Credit but met all other entitlement criteria, you could now apply again.
There are also some changes for young parents that extend entitlement.
