2 weeks short for nhs mat pay!

[allaboutthebread]

Has anyone ever been just short of NHS occupational mat pay? I'm 2 weeks short!

Employees must have 12 months’ continuous service with the NHS by the eleventh week before the expected week of childbirth.

I'm so worried about money. I didn't expect to fall so soon. Anyone have any advice please?

so you started to try and get preganant too soon. not sure what else you are expecting people to say. maybe harsh but ... ushould have waited two more weeks... surely...
many people survive without nhs terms and conitions im sure it will be ok somehow. you may have yo go back sooner thsn you hoped for thats all .

You can always apply for the government Maternity Allowance. It's a bit more than £148 a week, from April is £151 a week. You can have that up to 39 weeks.
