As far as I know, you don't even get sick pay with Angard. I know that one girl in our office was still working at 8 months pregnant. I'm not an expert, but that can't be healthy for the mother or baby?

You can claim SSP as an Angardee but don't think it is through Angard itself but through some government department (Job Centre/Social Security Department or some other).

There is also something about Maternity as well - I think it stops the 6 week count back but check your contract and the AWR rules/regulations.
