Hi, I'm 4 month preg with DC2 and DH has got a new job so we will need to relocate. I am remaining at my job until maternity leave begins (end of oct) then will relocate with DH and DS to give birth. As such I will not be returning to my current job at the end of my maternity leave. My question is, am I still entitled to SMP? I know that any extra would need to be paid back but is there a way I can claim (or a form I should be asking for?) the basic SMP from the very start of maternity leave rather than the 90% etc?
Thanks for any advice
