We have changed the way that we deliver Best Start Grant School Age Payment
Eligible families now receive payment automatically
Best Start Grant School Age Payment will be paid from Thursday 1 June 2023.
Parents, carers and guardians who get Universal Credit, tax credits or other qualifying benefits and who have a child born between 1 March 2018 and 28 February 2019 are being urged to check whether they should apply for Best Start Grant School Age Payment or if they now get the payment automatically.
