Hiya im self employed and have been for 2 years, before this i was in permanent work, im now 24 weeks pregnant and wondered if i can claim anything, the job centre have been really unhelpful.

yep you can!! you can get maternity allowance if your NI is up to date. If its not you can make back payments.
Your get £112.75 for 39weeks. You need to get yout mat form from your midwife and get the other forms from internet or job centre. You can't hand them in till your 26 weeks but make sure you get them in at 26weeks!!

ok been to job centre today and im not entitled to anything with them and they didnt really know much and then i rung a mat allowance number at revenue and customs and they said im not actually entitled to anything, so im totally stuck, i cant claim a single penny??? Not joking me and fiance will end up without a house cos cannot live on 1 wage!!
did they say why??
I'm self employed and was up to date with my class 2 NI (ie the bill you get sent) and I was entitled.
If I was you I would fill the form anyway and send it. You don't have to send any payslips, just your MAT1 form and see what they say. I got my letter back quite quickly saying I was entitled to the full amount.
You can download the form of the internet.
