Is your child eligible for Free School Meals?

How do I find out ?

You may be eligible to claim free school meals for your child, up to the age of 19-years-old, if you (or your child) get one of the following:

• Income support
• Income-based Jobseeker Allowance
• Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Universal Credit

To claim a free school meal you should ask your child’s school or nursery for an application form. You will need to complete the form and return it to the school/nursery, along with evidence to support your application.
