Statutory Maternity Pay is paid by an employer on behalf of HMRC and is a statutory entitlement funded by NI contributions made by the employee. Benefits are paid by the Benefits Agency and have nothing to do with an employer. I’m sure that your local BA office or your midwife would be happy to go through what is available and how SMP may affect any existing benefits you receive.
