Maternity Payments: Greater Manchester

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the value was of unclaimed Sure Start maternity grants in (a) Greater Manchester and (b) Manchester Gorton constituency in the last 12 months for which data are available.

Answer

The information requested is not available. On 29th October 2020 the Department for Work and Pensions published the report “Income-related benefits: estimates of take-up: financial year 2018 to 2019”. This provided figures on the value of some unclaimed benefits in Great Britain. Estimates are not available for other DWP benefits, including Sure Start Maternity Grant and Universal Credit, and sub-national figures are not published because of small sample sizes.
