I got my MATB1 form from my midwife about 3-4 weeks ago and completely forgot to do the paperwork and send it to HR (i work for public sector). Now it says, must be received no later than 15 weeks before EDD (or rather formal medical evidence and notice of pg) in order to claim SMP and the additional work pay that I will be entitled to.
I am now 29 weeks, 11 weeks before my EDD. Have I just effed everything up, or is it down to discretion as to whether they accept it or not? I called HR on friday to ask them but the person was not around to ask, another HR person said send it in asap and they will make sure it is fast tracked to where it needs to go, and she thinks it will be fine, but she does not know.
I have already formally notified them (HR and my line manager) in writing of my pregnancy and EDD, I did this at around 10weeks? Possibly before.
I am panicking that I have just made myself ineligible for SMP!

Late sending MATB1 to employers. Is this going to screw me up financially?
