Hi everyone, I am self employed, so not entitled to any maternity pay, do any of you know anything about maternity allowance, how you claim it and when, my baby boy is due on the 17th March, thanks Julia
 
Hi Julia,

I'm self employed too and have just put in a claim for mine. As long as all your Class 2 NI contributions are paid and up to date you are treated as earning the full amount and will be entitled to the full £108 per week for 26 weeks/39 weeks if born on 31-03-07 or after.

Download the form:

Its right near the bottom of the page.
(I also read that self employed can receive up to £120 per week, but I'm not sure so I'm just going to wait and see what they say!)
