  • Hmm, that document is the most comprehensive I've seen yet but still doesn't fully answer the query. Hopefully the bit you've quoted means that as long as my employer can confirm I was due to continue work until the end of the qualifying period, it should count. The document says that is the case for SMP, but doesn't actually specify it clearly for MA.

    Really appreciate you digging that one up for me, as I hadn't found it on my search.

    I'll be able to make my application in a couple of weeks, so I will report back as to what they say, for future searches.
