Maternity allowance...

Hey everyone, I'm currently 31 weeks today and after hounding my HR/Payroll dept they finally got back to me and because I moved NHS trusts during early pregnancy I'm not eligible for SMP.
They said they'll need to give me a SMP1 to apply for maternity allowance..
has this happened to anyone else?
To make things worse the lady is on AL for two weeks now and no one can send me the form so I can get the ball moving... as I hear it's quite a lengthy process????
Is anyone else going through similar? Xx

I’ve not long sent my form off. Haven’t heard anything yet but you can go online and request they send you a form that will arrive in the post. Your employer will need to fill out a SMP1 form that you’ll need to send with your filled in form. And you may need to provide a few payslips too

NHS continuous service counts for mat pay… I wouldn’t have been eligible from my trust start date but went off nhs start date
