Regulation 8 Maternity allowance at a reduced rate where contribution conditions are not satisfied in full

Where a woman would be entitled to a maternity allowance but for the fact that the second contribution condition set out in paragraph 3 of Schedule 3 is not satisfied, she shall, if a rate is prescribed for her in paragraph (2), be entitled to such benefit at that rate.

The weekly rate of the allowance shall be calculated as a percentage of the rate set out in Part I of Schedule 4; in a case where the second contribution condition would have been satisfied if the multiplier in that condition (instead of being 50) had been 37½ that percentage shall be 75 per cent, and in a case where that condition would have been satisfied if the multiplier had been 25, it shall be 50 per cent.
