Hey everyone! so im not due till decemeber this year but i was just wondering what help you get when you go on mat leave? I started a new job but had to leave as i couldnt get the vaccines needed to stay there! So im starting back at my old job that i left tomorrow! I dont think ill be entitled to smp or mp. Is there anything else i can claim? DH works full time =)

You'll be entitled to maternity allowance, it's £151 a week for 39 weeks

This might be useful :)

As above, you will be entitled to Maternity Allowance. You can apply as soon as you turn 26 weeks pregnant.

You qualify as long as you've paid enough national insurance for 13 weeks in the 66 weeks before baby is due. As above its £151 a week for 39 weeks

Also have a look at best start grants, I think that’s what they are called x
