Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

Jodie - I think they send you a form back, which is the one you have to send in when you stop work or the baby comes (whichever happens first - in my case the latter!).

See here standard rate £117 or 90% of your gross average earnings if you earn less than that.

From what I remember, you send it in, and then it takes them a few weeks (6?) to process it, and then you notify them when you're stopping work and it all kicks into action. I think I sent the form in when I was about 30 weeks?

Thanks. I assumed they just payed the maximum, but didn't want to get my hopes up (what little it is!) Also, does anyone know how long it takes for the application to get processed?

I think if you are self employed, they just pay you the maximum - is it £110 a week?

I am in the process of claiming my maternity allowance but I would really like to know how they work out how much I am going to get as nowhere on the form does it ask how much I earn??????

I've been trying to call them, but no one answer's the phone, or it's engaged!!!

Can anyone help me?

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
