Basically.. I completed my degree in July. So wasn't working full time- was just working in a pub for a while.
To quality for maternity allowance you have to had worked 26 weeks in the 66 weeks before baby is due. So basically from 18th August last year till November 30th (babys due date) I need 26 weeks.
I have worked out I've already done about 15 weeks. 2 weeks ago I started a new job which is for nearly 16 weeks .. I finish the week before baby is due.
All together this gives me 30 weeks .. However does anyone know if I actually have to had completed these weeks before putting in my claim?
I know if I had already completed them I could submit my claim and MA would start from when I finish work- however I am unsure if my work contract is sufficient to claim without actually having completed the weeks yet?
Sort fit hat sounds confusing !
