My wife, due in april, has been denied Maternity Benfit because she did not make enough money whilst self employed a couple of years back. She since packed in that business and has been working full time since. Thay say she did not make a voluntary contribution???
She did send approx €270 to revenue to pay for a stamp but was refunded that almost immediately. And has been told it was classed as an over payment.
I dont think it is fair that this woman who has worked all her life should be denied this when those that don't work get it automatically.
What can we do, any suggestions?
Is it pointless trying to argue?
