    Does anyone know how long it takes to process a maternity benefit claim?

    We actually had our baby in June but there were major delays with Mrs. Gift's paperwork from her employer....

    We applied there recently with a cover letter explaining the situation along with a doctors note ( she went a bit early)

    I think mine was 6 weeks. They sent me a letter when the form was received, then another staing what my weekly payment would be.

    Cheers for that...am I right in thinking that if you qualify you get back pay for the time it took to process the application?

    That still seams really long, a friend had her paperwork lost as the company closed down and still had the payment by the time she had the baby.

    In saying that i found the maternity section the most professional section to deal with. What are they asking you for or are they just making a decision.
