Paragraph 7 Multiple pregnancy supplement
Subject to sub-paragraphs (2) and (3) a supplement of F1£398.35 is to be added to the basic amount in respect of a child born, or to be born, as a result of a multiple pregnancy.
The supplement is to be added to the grant in respect of only one of the children born, or to be born, as a result of the pregnancy, and it is for the Scottish Ministers to decide which child's grant to supplement.
No supplement is to be added if the individual to whom the grant is to be given—
has not applied for a pregnancy and baby grant in respect of all of the children born, or to be born, as a result of the pregnancy; or
is not eligible for a pregnancy and baby grant in respect of any of those children.
