That's it really.
I'm a teacher. I was given a letter first week back in September to say that my contract was being terminated come January. I asked then about mat pay and was told that because I had worked through the qualifying period etc, I would receive 2 weeks full pay and then 12 weeks at half pay - with the remainder being the standard £130 a week. They even sent me out a maternity pack to explain my entitlements.
NOW they are saying that because my contract has been terminated (I was on a temporary fixed contract that kept getting extended) and thus I cannot go back to work for 13 weeks after having the baby, that I'm not entitled to anything other than the standard £130 a week. 
It's bad enough having my first baby and losing my job!!!! But this has just tipped me over the edge. My husband is on a low wage, takes home only £900 a month. I have literally no idea how the hell we will manage without the 2 weeks full pay and 12 weeks half pay. Our bills alone are £1300 a month, that's before we eat!!!
Can they do this?!
Any legal experts out there?! Help!
