If you have a child or children in full-time education, receive certain benefits and have an income of less than £16,190 you may be able to claim free school meals. If you think that you may qualify, put your claim in as soon as possible - any entitlement will only start from when you make a claim.
Who can get free school meals?
You can get free school meals for your child if you are responsible for the child, and are getting one of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- Income based Job Seeker's Allowance
- Pension Credit (Guaranteed Credit)
- Employment and Support Allowance (income related)
- Child Tax Credit (if the Tax Credit Office say you have an income each year of below £16,190)
If you receive both Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit, your child will not qualify for free school meals.
For full information on claiming for Free School Meals, please see our leaflet on the right hand side of this page.
