Hello! Please could someone help if they have any experience with this?
I want to start a new job and have staying in my current job long enough to qualify for SMP. I got an email confirming my eligiblity and am 26 weeks so past the qualifying week. I want to work in my new job until the week before my due date.

I am worried about my current employer cancelling my SMP!!! Can they do this??? Is there any way that I can guarentee my SMP . They have sent an email confirming my approval and starting date (which I have asked to me my due date). I dont want to quit my job unless I have guarenteed SMP but I dont want to stay and have a new job lined up already for me to start.

I am really worried about them changing their minds about paying me SMP. Please hlep! What would you do??

No they can't cancel it. Once you meet the qualifying requirements you get your SMP even if you leave your job. It's not something they get to change their minds about.
