Fixed term contract coming to an end 6 weeks before baby due

[hmu04146]

Hello,

Sorry to bother everyone, Im really in need of some help, my fixed term contract is set to come to an end 6 weeks before bump is born, I am newly separated from my partner and heavily rely on tax credits, would I now need to declare I am unemployed and take a massive drop in credits or continue to declare employment as my employer is fully paying my mat leave. If i do have to advise i am now unemployed is it worth getting a new pt job for 6 weeks then taking my mat leave?

Thanks so much for any help given in advance xx
