Is this maternity allowance ? Or stat maternity
Was it a MA1 form?
And are you self employed?

Same!

If it’s maternity allowance, get it sent off ASAP. I sent mine off at 30 weeks and I’ve only just had a message 6 weeks later saying “thank you for your application, we’ll be in touch with a decision”. So potentially even a few more weeks! It didn’t take this long with my first so wonder if they’ve got a lot of applications to process

I think it seems to be different for everyone. I sent mine off on the 7th May, had a text on 8th May to say they received it and would let me know their decision within 4 weeks. I received a text telling me the amount I would be entitled to on the 26th May and my first payment is due tomorrow
Yes maternity allowance, the long form with the Matb1 form. Hoping it’s not ages

I sent mine off in February and still not sorted🫠
