EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations make provision in relation to the administration of health in pregnancy grant and supplement the administration provisions in Part 4 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (c. 14). By virtue of section 132(1) of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 the Commissioners for Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (‘the Commissioners’) are responsible for the payment and administration of health in pregnancy grant.
Regulation 1 provides for health in pregnancy grant to be claimed on or after 1 January 2009 for the purpose of enabling awards to be made to women giving birth on or after 6 April 2009.
Regulation 2 prescribes the manner in which the grant must be claimed and the information which must be included in the claim.
Regulation 3 requires the claim to be made within 31 days of the date of the certificate signed by the health professional.
Regulation 4 provides for information to be provided by the claimant to the Commissioners in connection with her claim.
Regulation 5 dispenses with the need for a national insurance number where the claimant is too young to have been allocated one.
Regulation 6 permits a claimant to withdraw her claim.
Regulation 7 enables the Commissioners to refer back to the claimant a claim which has not been made in the prescribed manner.
Regulation 8 provides for the grant to be paid to the person entitled to it.
Regulation 9 provides for the grant to be paid into a bank account or by an instrument of payment if the recipient has no bank account.
Regulation 10 provides for the grant to be paid in a single payment as soon as reasonably practicable after the award has been made.
Regulation 11 provides that the right to the grant will be extinguished if the instrument conferring payment is not presented for payment within 12 months of the date of issue.
Regulation 12 provides for the grant to be claimed by, or paid to, certain persons or bodies, where a claimant is unable to act.
Regulation 13 provides for the grant to be paid to the personal representatives of an eligible claimant who has died.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
