well I finish work on Saturday but I'm still not sure what maternity money will be... my boss cut hours after I had a bleed at 14 weeks and she thought as long as I did over 15 hours a week that was fine she would still pay my money to me but her accountant said I have to earn over £122 a week to get it! now I have to claim it from the job center and have no idea how much I'll get or what I'm entitled to 🙁 I'm really nervous I'm going to have to go back to work a lot earlier than I want to coz I won't be able to afford to be off 😢
job centre can lose your stuff. i went through maternity allowance and it took 15 working days once i sent forms off xx
thank you @beccastirlingx least I no I won't be surviving on pence and @sinlou93 what's the difference doing it through job center to the maternity allowance bit? I'm so Unprepared for this wish she found out before then I could have looked into it better xx
@summertimebaby16, ring up maternity allowance and claim it ur self instead of going through job centre xx
if ur claiming through gourvenment. u send off your higest paid wage slips in a 66 week period. if uve earn more than the 138 per week in that period u will get that for 39 weeks x
@summertimebaby16, through the job centre as my employer told me I wasn't employed long enough to receive it from them xx
@beccastirlingx, do u claim that through the job center or from your employer? the accountant did say I could get other benefits depending on circumstances xx
ive inboxed you hun xx
