Could someone please tell me what form do I need to get from Doctor/Midwife to apply for maternity leave pay? And, do they have dead line for that?

    MatB1, should be handed in to your employer by the time you are 25 weeks pregnant x

    It's normally issued to you by your midwife when you are about 20 weeks pregnant x

    MATB1s legally can't be issued until you are 20 weeks pregnant

    You don't have to give it to the employer by 25 weeks (although you are meant to have informed them when the baby is due and when you want to start maternity leave by then and many employers will ask for the MATB1 at the same time) it's about 28 days before the start of mat leave
  • thanks all, I have lots of time left.
