[Shifter]

going to sort out my maternity allowance today as i have my MATB1 now, dont know when to start it though! may start it when i hit 37 weeks, im not sure if i have a set date i have to start it because im unemployed?! il soon find out i suppose!

xx

You can have it start any time now, whenever you want, as you're past 29 weeks. I'm in the same boat. In fact, I'm officially going on "maternity leave" sooner than planned (i.e. telling my agency I'm not available) because there has been NO temp work and I want to get the money trickling in again ASAP! Just waiting for my agency to send my MATB1 form back to me. I know full well they will have decided not to pay me SMP.

I know nothing about mat benefits while working etc as I have never worked and been pregnant so it's all a mystery to me. I know about state benefits etc but that's my limit. Sound like a right scrounger but I'm not lol

i have got asfar as knowing that I need to go to the job centre (BAh!) and get the MATB1 form. And work out my accounts for this year to see how much I will get. I'm not going to do it if the forms make me cry though!

ps. they will. Everything does.

mind you someone tried to issue a chargeback on my paypal and I didn't cry and they found in my favour and I got my money back. Ha.

Hi hun,

did you not already get your MATB1 form from your MW? You should have already had it just after 20 weeks... also, you can download the maternity allowance application form here: https://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/Customers/WorkingAgeBenefits/Dev_008115.xml.html

Hi girls!! I had a terrible backacke the last 8-9 days and I couldn't move..
My mom came to help me and I'm feeling better now..at least I can walk without help!
Wish everyone's well!!

 

[Shifter]

Sorry to hear about the bad back Little Bee. Glad you're on the mend.

Isn't it wonderful how many there are of us now? March is going to be very hectic on the boards! Lots of announcements for everyone to share! It won't be long now until all our text buddies are to be primed and ready! Although I realised a while back that my buddies, Lolly and MM are due one day either side of me, so we might all be in labour at once

No probs.I prob didn't mention it anyway!! I'm prob getting one as my son was born at 34+4 and he was 6lb 1...If he had been born on his due date he would have been over 10lb!!! the dr said if this one is as big my pelvis isn't big enough to deliver normally.... So i have been booked in for one but if she turns out a bit smaller I might get away with doing it "properly"

 

[aurora32]
