Hi everyone!
I applied for maternity allowance weeks ago and I did receive a text (13th July) confirming when my first payment will be and how much. But I still haven’t received a letter with all the details? My maternity leave technically starts August 10th and I need to apply for my eldest daughter’s nursery code so she can start in September and didn’t know if there would be details on the letter I’d need for that? Thanks for any help in advance ☺️

I received mine just by a text saying it would be there within 28 days, u did not need to do anything, then another text saying it would be in within 5 working days which was around the last week I was due to receive it and it came through. No letter received

I got a letter after I received my first payment. The letter didn't include anything relevant that wasn't in the text. I also got a text. I think if you got a text I wouldn't worry too much!
Is there anything in particular you were looking for? Or think you'll need?

i revived the money before i got the letter!! i got the text on 10th july stating how much ill get and when (28th july) and then revived the letter on 1st august. i don’t know why it took so long, but no need to worry as long as you got the text :)
