Feeling so down lately, feel like nothing's going my way😫 I was working and when I stopped I've been told I'm not entitled to maternity pay from DWP so have to wait 2 months for my first payment which is a lousy £270 a month me and a baby are supposed to live on. Just got the keys to a house which is great but it needs EVERYTHING done which I have no money for, there isn't even any carpet in the house and baby's due in less than 3 weeks so won't be in by then😭 and feel like the OH is so distant and uninterested almost like he's trying to avoid me. Everything's happening at once and I'm just a breakdown waiting to happen, emotional wreck!😢

@Lucy jade, no because the job I took on a few months ago was always just temporary I was never going to get maternity from them and was going to get it from DWP but when I finished and went to the job centre I was told they can't pay me it because I was working less than 26weeks. I would've got it if I stayed on benefits or worked over 26 weeks😞 so I got put back on universal credits that won't pay me until 2 months after I put claim in thinking I had all this money saved up from working, they don't understand I didn't have anything saved as I was using it all to buy things for baby and it was weekly pay so disappeared quickly
I thought everyone was entitled to maternity allowance?
@galiceanucamelia, No can't get maternity allowance :/ applied for the maternity grant of £500 but still to hear back if I'm getting it or not. @gbemiabdul aw it's awful isn't it? 6 days, ohh that would hurt much more! I was a couple weeks short, feel like we have enough to be stressing about without this nonsense too x
You just poured out my heart...the story of my life at the moment.I was told i missed maternity pay by 6 days..imagine
Are you qualified for Maternity Allowance then?
Sorry, tagged someone else there🙊 meant to be @lucyjade
