employment support allowance and maternity allowance

highhopes19 · Jun 22nd, 2011, 09:45 AM

I'm currently signed off work since 27th may with stress and anxiety.

I'm not entitled to SSP from my employer so. They sent me all sick notes back, with a form to claim
Employment support allowance.

I'm also not entitled to SMP, but when looking at the test periods I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to MA,
I've sorted out 3 pay slips which cover 15 weeks when they only need 13 weeks.

So I was just really worried that me getting employment supprt will affect how much maternity allowance I'm entitled to

Will it have any affect?

When I worked it out the average of every week pay from them slips
And its £135 a week, so does that mean I'll get the full £128

Or will they deduct some because of employment support

Thankyou

If you are not entitled to statutory maternity pay from any of your employers, each of your employers must give you form SMP1 to send with your MA1 claim form. If you do some work for an employer or as a self-employed person, before your MA is due to end, you will be able to work for up to ten days without losing any MA. If you work for more than ten days, you will lose MA for the days you work after that. You must tell Jobcentre Plus about any work you do when you are receiving MA.
