@nix thank you x

@simonecousins2307 It does take a good 3-5 weeks I would say.
First I had a text message 2 weeks after applying saying they had received my application & I don't need to do anything, they will be intouch, then 2 weeks went by after that so I called them up to check the progress of my claim, they said they have received my application but were currently dealing with earlier claims first, I then received a letter informing me that I would be intitled to Maternity allowance, they will process my claim once I have left work to start my maternity or once i've had the baby. So once I had left work I had called them back to inform them that i've now left work, gave the leaving date and they processed my claim over the phone. I then received a letter informing me of my intitlemement. But yeah I would say follow up if not hearing anything for a while xx

@sumaya.wahed they can pay it into your bank every 2 weeks or every 4 weeks. You just need to fill out the forms x

I need to apply for mine but bit confused how does it work?

@nix How long did it take for you to hear back from them? Xx

Yes, I got mine 😁

Yeah hun :) you can apply 11 weeks before due date and up to 3 months after the birth xx
