hi guys

still haven't really got my head around what i actually need to do & fill in but could someone shed somw light on when they need to be done? is it before the baby arrives or after? plus is it personnel or payroll you have to speak to regarding materinity pay?

You can fill out the majority of your details on the likes of the child benefit and tax credits forms before LO is here but you'll have to wait until bubs is born before sending them off because the child benefit application requires the birth certificate and the tax credits, I think, needs your child benefit number.

It depends on your company who you speak to with regards to maternity pay. In my case it was HR.
