80% of women who contact us think they are NOT<\/b> eligible for Maternity Allowance in the UK. But with our help, they receive \u00a37300 from the state over 39 weeks. We’ve decided to debunk the most common myths and misconceptions about Maternity Allowance.<\/p>\n
Myth 1: If I don’t work as an employee, I can’t get Maternity Allowance<\/b>Truth:<\/b> This is far from the case. Maternity Allowance is available not only for those working on a contract (employee). If you work as a worker<\/b>, or even if you are self-employed<\/b>, you can still receive the benefit. If you can’t get Statutory Maternity Pay (maternity benefit from your employer), you are entitled to Maternity Allowance.<\/p>\n
Myth 2: I have to work at least 26 weeks for one employer to get the benefit<\/b>Truth:<\/b> To be eligible for Maternity Allowance, you don’t need to work 26 weeks for one employer. You can get the benefit if you have worked for at least a few weeks, even if it was for different employers.<\/p>\n
Myth 3: I won’t get the benefit if I don’t have extensive work experience<\/b>Truth:<\/b> In fact, Maternity Allowance is available even if you don’t have many years of work experience. The main thing is to have a minimum number of weeks worked or income earned in the last 66 weeks before the start of pregnancy.<\/p>\n
Myth 4: My income is too low to qualify for Maternity Allowance<\/b>Truth:<\/b> If your income is low or unstable, it doesn’t mean you’re not eligible for the benefit. The program is designed to support women in various financial situations.<\/p>\n
Myth 5: If I’ve been self-employed for only a few months, I can’t get the benefit<\/b>Truth:<\/b> Even if you’ve been self-employed for only a few months, you can still apply for Maternity Allowance if you meet certain requirements.<\/p>\n
Myth 6: I won’t get the benefit if I didn’t apply before giving birth<\/b>Truth:<\/b> Although it’s recommended to apply for Maternity Allowance before giving birth, if you didn’t manage to do so, don’t worry. You can still apply after giving birth (up to 3 months), and the benefit will be paid for the entire period, starting from the application date.<\/p>\n
