Mums across Glasgow are expected to get a payment boost this week with the benefit being delivered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).
Set to increase from today (April 10) by 10.1 per cent, the annual uprating includes a cash boost for an estimated 40,000 mothers expected to take time off work to care for their new born child this year.
Those eligible for the standard rate of Maternity Allowance will receive £172.48 each week (up from £156.66), or 90 per cent of their average weekly earnings, whichever is less, for 39 weeks. This includes if you’re employed or have recently stopped working, as reported by the Mirror.
