Maternity benefit applications are processed in commencement date order and at present claims with a commencement date of 25 December 2017 are being processed.
The person concerned has submitted an application with a leave commencement date of 24 December 2017. This claim is already in process but cannot be finalised until confirmation of her UK contribution record is received. This record has been requested from the UK; once it is available a decision will be made and communicated to her.
