Maternity Allowance is a benefit for women who have been working but who do not meet the work and earnings conditions for Statutory Maternity Pay.
It can be paid for up to 39 weeks.
To date, it is estimated that over £7 billion in benefits goes unclaimed every year - much of which should be claimed by Maternity Allowance applicants.

Tess was earning £200.00 per week before giving birth to Max. 90% of this income is taken into account and so the weekly earnings are calculated at £180.00.
The maximum Maternity Allowance is £124.88. The lesser figure, £124.88 is the amount payable.

Many people who could claim Maternity Allowance do not do so.
So why does not everyone claim Maternity Allowance?
Some of the reasons many people do not claim Maternity Allowance are as follows:
People do not realise that they might be entitled to claim
You may have been in contact with a health professional. That particular person may be inexperienced or too busy to know about Maternity Allowance so may not be able to give you the best advice. This may lead to an unfair refusal, a reduced payment or some other event that prevents applicants from making a claim
You might spend a significant time in hospital. A patient may lack awareness about benefits to which they may be entitled or how to claim them
Claim forms can be lengthy and complicated. This can lead to a form being completed incorrectly or, in the worst case, not at all
Staff at the DWP (previously known as DHSS/DSS) might have limited understanding about how you (or someone you know) are actually feeling. You may accidently act in a way that could harm your claim
A health condition can make it impractical and/or uncomfortable. It can even stop a person from making a claim for Maternity Allowance. For example, a course of medication or post-natal symptoms can leave a claimant not in the best frame of mind to be completing a claim form adequately.

Due to the inefficiencies of certain "officials" it has been known for refusals to be over-turned when the claim has been re-presented in a professional and methodical manner (i.e. by a professional company or consultant).
Many times, the refusal decision is based on an incorrect presentation of certain information by the claimant or by an incorrect assessment from the particular benefits office/r in question.
We have found 40% or more of "refused claims" have a very good chance of being overturned.
Needless to say, this issue is very important.
Full claim acceptance not only over-turns a previous refusal, but it also means you will probably be eligible for back-payments from the point of an initial claim.
This alone could often lead to thousands of pounds in back-payments due to you.
