Maternity allowance

I sent off my form the other day to say I’ve now finished work and that I want my payments to start from the 1/9/23 (backdated). Should I have any more correspondence from maternity allowance or will the payments just start now?

No harm in giving them a call, I sent mine off to say I had finished work then never got my first payment. I phoned and the gent on the phone processed the claim there and then and got it all approved ect. ☺️

Jumping on this… can I ask what time people called and managed to get through? I’ve tried a few times this week and been on hold over half an hour, my baby is nearly 4 weeks old now and haven’t heard since sending my form back weeks ago 😅

I have tried twice today and given up. It was the same when I had a query a few weeks ago but I got through then on the 4th attempt.
I don’t think there is a “good time” it’s more just luck. I am just going to keep trying.
Sorry to hear you’ve not heard anything since you sent back the form! Good luck xx

hope you get sorted too! I rang months back with a question and got straight through so wasn’t expecting it to be hassle, would have started trying earlier if I had known! Xx

each time I’ve called I’ve got through at about 45 mins on hold, all I can say is bare with

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
