Maternity benefit payment timeline?

Burti16

Hi

My spouse was awarded for maternity benefit early November but no payment landed to our accounts so far.It's been two montha already. Is it normal that administrative tasks are taking this long?

I'd be concerned at that , some payments can take time to be issued , Disability allowance etc but once approved ,Maternity Benefit should be paid reasonably quickly.

I wonder if they have correct Bank Details , can she log into mywelfare 🤔 it should show if anything has been paid . At a minimum she'd need to call them on Tuesday .

Should have kicked in long ago if she was awarded. All the administration was in the awarding. Something is wrong and you need to ring first thing Tuesday morning.
