Right, I need major help and I know this is the place to be,.
I finished work on Monday, the rest of this week was holiday and my official maternity leave starts today. On weds I started with pre eclampisia and have been in hospital since then but let out today as everything has settled down.
I have heard by text from work colleaguies that the company I worked for has gone into liquidation and that I would be getting a letter. no such letter has appeared yet - maybe because they know I am in hospital.
They have my matb1 form with my letter fomr 20 weeks or so so i hold out little or no chance of getting that back.
Here are my questions, I am now 37 weeks pregnant and i did get paid a very good wage but obviously now have no income at all.
Do I get another MatB1 from my midwife and now try and claim maternity allowance? How do i go about this?
Do I contact the inland revenue about child tax credits now? At present I get nothing as they overpaid me by their mistake over two years ago? I have a 4 year old child who is at school. I think i was only getting £10.00 a month or something anyway as it did stand
If i am then liable for child tax credit, do i get the surestart grant too?
Obvioulsy I am owed wages from my employer form since 1 november but I dont know whether I will get these at all with no letter- I have been made redundant before so know I have to try and claim this back form the government if not -does anyone know the agency to go to who will help?
I think thats it - please help!
