The Sure Start Maternity Grant (SSMG) is a one off payment of £500 to buy things for a new baby. It is paid from the Social Fund and is classed as public funds.
You are not excluded from getting the SSMG provided you are living with a family member who is an EEA national.


Health in Pregnancy Grant (HIPG) is a one-off payment of £190. The HIPG is classed as public funds.
You are not excluded from the HIPG provided you are living with a family member who is an EEA national.

Looks like you are all good to go ahead with ILR and no probs with Public Funds. Well done.
