Your child will be entitled to free school meals if they to go school in Waltham Forest, and you or your partner get one of the following:
- Income Support
- Universal Credit*
- Income-based Job Seeker's Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- The Guarantee Credit element of State Pension Credit
- Support from the National Asylum Support Service (NASS)

- Child Tax Credit, provided that you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit (but see below), and your annual income (as assessed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) is £17,005 or less
- Working Tax Credit for four weeks after your employment finishes
*Universal credit
- Free school meals now have amended regulations to implement a net earnings threshold of £7,400 to come into force from 1 April 2018
- Any pupil eligible for free school meals before 1 April 2018 will keep their free school meal eligibility until 31 March 2022
- Any pupil who becomes eligible during the rollout of universal credit (from 01 April 2018 to 31 March 2022) will keep their eligibility until 31 March 2022
- Once the rollout of universal credit has completed (31 March 2022), any pupil losing will continue to be transitionally protected until the end of their current phase of education, e.g. primary/secondary school
- This applies whether parents receive universal or legacy benefits
- Pupils will keep their eligibility even if their circumstances change between 1 April 2018 and 31 March 2022.
- A child will be transitionally protected not the family, so if a sibling is receiving free school meals and another child applies after 1April 2018, there will be no transitionally protection (this also applies for a child who moves to live with another parent and/or family member)
