Hi,
I am employed in the UK (and pay taxes in the UK) but live abroad and am seeing my GP abroad... but my employer insists on a UK MATB1 form for my maternity pay application. Nothing else will do. Has anyone else had this issue?
Is it possible to privately pay a UK clinic/GP to do my MATB1 form? If so, does anyone have any suggestions on who I can contact? Or do you reckon I would have any luck ringing my old UK GP to ask for assistance? (Somehow I doubt that they would want to/be able to help.)
I can obviously provide all the required information through my actual doctor, they have said they are able to provide an official letter etc. If I had to go to the UK to see someone... I can't until I am about 26 weeks pregnant, which is leaving it a little late!
Err, help!

How do you get a MAT1B form if you live abroad?
