So I knew I was only entitled to maternity allowance, so in the new year I was halfway through completing an application hen I contacted HR and requested my matb1 form back. I then got a phone call saying I was entitled to SMP so they had to keep my matb1 form to process it. I questioned it, but I was reassured I was definitely entitled to SMP, so I thought great, and shredded my application. I brought my leave forward at the beginning and extended it at the end based on this information.
Fast forward to 4:30 today, I get an email from HR saying I was right and am not entitled to SMP after all and they are going to send me my matb1 form back. I ring them up, they apologise, and she says that I would get SMP from the government. NO I would get maternity allowance, which doesn't pay 90% of my salary for the first 6 weeks.
AIBU for being a little wound up?
