I'm just wondering if I was to start a PHD before my baby was due, would this count as insurable employment and could I then receive the maternity state benefit during my maternity leave?
I am considering doing a PHD and starting 6 months before my baby is due. However as my scholarship would be suspended during my maternity leave I would need some source of income. It says you have to be in insurable employment up until the day before your maternity leave starts. Is doing a funded PHD insurable employment?
