Hello I am a band 5 Nurse working with a private hospital in the Uk. Could you please explain this continous period of 26 weeks into the qualifying week. Does it mean the woman must have worked for 26 weeks before getting pregnant before she can be entitled to SMP? LagosismyHome: 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 7:49pm On Mar 26, 2021 |
Rubygold1: I thought it was an odd rule when I first heard it but hey that the rule in the UK.... Pregnancy is 40 weeks (EDD), so for SMP you need to be with that employer one week before the belle enter making that 41 weeks before you are due.....so you have to be with the employer one week before you got pregnant and then 26 weeks later still be working with them then that how you qualify for SMP..... 15 weeks before edd is your qualifying week. ( 41 comes from 26 +15) This is the official statement: The continuous employment rule: To satisfy the continuous employment rule you must have been employed by your employer for a continuous period of at least 26 weeks into the qualifying week.....The qualifying week is the 15th week before the week in which the baby is due. However there are some exceptions that they allow if you cannot meet this . Read the official link https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/smp-eligibility 1 Like 2 Shares |

cliffjohnson: Quicker way is to find maybe naija people in your area who have done similar ..they should be able to give you contact of the local job agencies in your area. ...those local agencies are usually quicker to find you a shift or job Although covid has wiped away so many many jobs. 1 Like |

Hi everyone. Good to belong to this family. My friend just told me about living in the UK threads. I came to the UK in January. I’m a post graduate student staying in Wolverhampton. It has really been difficult for me to rent a house. My husband and children are meant to come in April but I still haven’t been able to rent a house because I’m a student and not working yet. Please I really need help on how to go about it. ���. My children don’t understand why they are still in Nigeria when they already have their visa. Please help!!! It’s weighing me down. Any one in Wolverhampton I can hook up with? Please I need all the contacts and ideas I can get. Thank you. 1 Like |

Amiphany: If you've got your money for rent, just download Zoopla and search for your accommodation according to your location of preference. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by TheGuyFromHR: 9:28pm On Mar 27, 2021 |
Amiphany: Assuming that you're already using the main rental websites (Zoopla, Rightmove, etc.) and possibly any high street letting agents in your area, if you are seeing suitable properties which fall within your budget but are being rejected for whatever reason, simply offer the next landlord(s) some months' rent in advance. 3 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Amiphany: 9:36pm On Mar 27, 2021 |
olenime:. Yes I’ve been searching on zoopla, right move etc. but they keep asking if I’m working, how much I earn, etc. and I have none of that |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Amiphany: 9:39pm On Mar 27, 2021 |
TheGuyFromHR:Had offered some landlords 6 months rent before and they didn’t call me still. Will just keep doing that. Thanks |

Hello house, I will be coming to Birmingham next month. Pls can I connect with anybody already in the city, I need some basic info as regards accommodation |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 10:32pm On Mar 27, 2021 |
Amiphany: Have you tried using facebook or gumtree? With gumtree..register and state the sort of house you are looking for, you will be contacted by landlords including scammers so be very careful. You can search in the website and filter out agencies so as to get house advertised by private landlords. |

Amiphany: Look for a guarantor...... Difficult to find one, but if they are willing to take the risk...... You get the accommodation....... |

Amiphany: I see. Well others have offered some more tips above, just keep on it, something will definitely turn up. I understand that the validity of your family's 3 month entry permits are running, so you might want to consider renting an Airbnb for like a month (you usually get discounts when you do so, so the cost might be closer to what you would have paid in rent + utilities), so you can get your people over and avoid having their visas expire and require renewal. 4 Likes |
