SMP

I’ve never claimed benefits, where do I start?! How do I ensure I’ll receive the payments for when I start maternity? Is there a form to fill out or a phone line I can call

SMP isn’t a benefit, it’s essentially holiday/sick pay. You need to give your MatB1 form to your employer with your preferred start date and your employer will pay you.

Don't think of SMP as a benefit. It's a work place entitlement. You just submit your MATB1 form according to certain dates and your HR team take care of the rest. My work place sent me a helpful excel outline my pay during MAT leave

If you’re working, your work should help you with this. Have you received your MATB1 form?
