Feeling the same! Every month we've had a unexpected expense and will only get smp we barely make ends meet at the moment so it's definitely a worry!
Correct me if Iām wrong but Iām sure if you start working while off , it ends your maternity pay
@Ali you can still work self employed while receiving smp or maš obviously if I found something I could do for extra income that wasnāt based as self employed Iād just do it before hand to get some savings behind us x
@Ella itās so so hardš you think at the start it would be quite easy to get some savings then your over half way with nothing because your house hates youš¤£šx
Incognito, I am self employed and didnāt realise I could still get SMP if I keep working as much as I can when baby arrives. Do you have any more info/ good websites for more information about this? You have just made my day!
@Anna I found stuff on the working families websiteš it says you can work self employed during SMP however if itās MA you get your allowed to work a max of 10 days during your maternity leave as ākeeping in touchā days xx
Thank you I will check it out ā¤ļø
