Voluntary redundancy and smp

[Fred999]

I’ve got a bit of a tough decision to make so looking for some advice...

If I were to take voluntary redundancy in the last few months of pregnancy would I still be entitled to any sort of maternity payment, like smp or even maternity allowance?

I would also be receiving a lump sum based on years of service so does that cancel out maternity pay, or am I still entitled to something?

If anyone has any knowledge of this I would be really greatly! Thanks

I don't know if this is law or just my company....

But if I were to get redundancy while I'm off on maternity, my company would pay me full pay for my notice period, and they pay me all statutory maternity pay assuming I would have taken full maternity leave allowance in a lump sum along with my severance pay.
