I can't find anything in the regulations that would allow her to claim in advance in these circumstances. The TC (claims notifications) regs 2002 do give some circs where it is possible but most apply to WTC.
I'm assuming she is not already claiming WTC, if she is it's obviously a CoC once the baby's born.
