Hi, I am looking for anyone else who has been in a similar position.
I finished SMP end of March and received my p45 from work as I was in a year contract. I am pregnant again and due in Sep. I have looked online at Maternity allowance and entitlement. I am going into citizens' advice but I wondered if anyone else has been in a similar position and give some reassurance or advice on this.
I currently do not have a job as it's difficult to get a job being pregnant, although I do bits and bobs of cleaning etc. Childcare is also a major barrier to getting into work as it's so expensive.
If I have recently stopped working, I am eligible, but how long is recently out of work?
If I become self-employed and earn a minimum of £30 a week I could be eligible but it is so vague.
Can anyone shed some light? please?
Many thanks
