Hi
Just wanted to let you all know that my friend who's due on 4th May and sent her application in when she was around 29 weeks along (so about 9 weeks ago) has just got her grant paid into her account (was showing this morning). I'm due on the 27th and sent mine in about 7 weeks ago so am hoping it will be paid in next 2-3 weeks. I phoned last week because my concern is if the application form goes missing in the post or anything we wouldn't know until nothing paid. The person I spoke to told me they are processing in order and nothing will be paid until May 1st (clearly not true!!!) and that I should have heard by the end of May and to chase up then if I haven't.
Hope this helps!
