Best Start Grant
You can get Best Start Grant and Best Start Foods:

- as long as you’re the parent of a child, or the main person looking after the child
When you need to apply for the School Age Payment depends on when your child was born:

You cannot apply outwith these dates.
If your child was born later than February 2016, you’ll be able to apply after May 2021. You cannot apply for the School Age Payment for a child born before 1st March 2014.
If you get the School Age Payment, you’ll get £250 for each child you can get the payment for.

The School Age Payment has not replaced the School Clothing Grant. The School Age Payment is a new payment and does not affect in any way payments of the School Clothing Grant. If you want to apply for both, you can.
