Really annoyed

I'm just wondering if anyone else has had to wait for more than 2months for maternity money to be paid to them? I sent my claim form away like 2 months ago and when I call to ask whatsgoing on they keep telling me it will take another couple of weeks. I've been left with no money whatsoever for the past 3months and they are telling me that my claim should be processed by the 3rd of aug. I'm due my baby in 6 weeks I don't understand how they can leave me with no money at all to live on!
