    Would anyone know how long MB takes to process?sent off my forms today. is the wait long? I have already given birth so the sooner this is processed the better.i was an inpatient for the majority of my pregnancy so that was the reason for not applying sooner.Thanks

    Hi new mam, from the time i sent application to response to say it was approved was about 4 weeks, I won't be starting it for another few weeks though so not my sure if it will be quicker or not for you given that you have already given birth.

    Hi
    I did mine in January and it took 3 weeks. It would have been processed sooner only I had to get an extra form filled out by my employer. Congratulations

    I know it's no help to you now, but if you do it online it takes a couple of days. Might be of benefit to others reading :)

    There seems to be no consistency. I posted everything and got a letter back a week later. Husband applied for his paternity leave 6 weeks ago and is yet to hear back, when I phoned them they said that they do it in a que system. Hope you don't have to wait too long :)
