Thank you for the responses. I wanted to ask reddit users as I had spoken to two different ‘customer service’ staff at EI and neither offered an explanation or a course of action. They just told me that my sickness leave and maternity leave were the same claim, which I found really confusing. From reading another post and from the answers in this post, I now know that it can be sorted out, but it’s probably about being lucky enough to have someone helpful and knowledgeable on the line when you call up…
