No that’s correct. The £204 would be for November and December and the £102 for January. If you log into your HMRC account it’ll give you a breakdown.

@Orla thanks just thought I would have gotten something for the week she was born too

I think because it wasn’t a full week you wouldn’t get anything.

My LO was born in July but was poorly so was in the hospital a lot and therefore I didn't get applying until September- I'm still waiting!! Ridiculous. They've told me that it should be April by the time I hear back.
