Applied. Took 7.5weeks to get a message to say that I will get a reply by post in 28days. After 30 days passed then letter in my post said that I am not entitled for help while on maternity leave as I haven’t claimed benefits before I gave birth. So do it earlier then later as it might take about 11 weeks in total for you to get a yes or no. If you claim anything like UC then most likely u will get approved for it.
Mine took 3 days as was all submitted online x
@Tiff how did you do yours online as when i tried it told me i had to send my matb1 in
Out of interest, can you only have this once or once or per child?
@Sam your first child only
