im applying for maternity allowance as i have had to quit work due to pelvic girdle pain causing me to be in agony after a days work as my job involved standing up all day.

i quit my job in my 28th week of pregnancy so i was employed 15 weeks before my baby is due. The form says that if i was employed 15 weeks before baby is due i need to send an smp1 form stating why my workplace wont be giving me statutory maternity pay but work are being arseholes and messing me around when i ask for the form saying they dont know what im talking about.

If i have quit work and am not being paid statutory maternity pay for that reason and not because of earnings etc do i still need to send an smp1??xxx
 
Hey lovely! I finished work before the 15th week before my baby is due, so I don't have the same problem.. However, when I had problems sorting out my maternity allowance paperwork, I gave them a call at the maternity pay department (Jobcentre) + they were really helpful! Their number is 0845 608 8610.. Hope that helps & you manage to get it sorted! xx
 
thank u very much :D have just rang them and they were very helpful for me too xxxxx thank you xxxxxx
