Tax free childcare and maternity leave

I’m currently on maternity leave and have a 3year old in nursery. I’m having to reconfirm my eligibility for tax free childcare, my earnings are due to go to unpaid for the last 3 months now and the question asks:

‘Will you earn at least £152.00 a week before tax, for the next 3 months’

Do I put ‘No’ now? And what does this change if I do put ‘No’ or should I leave it as Yes? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated TIA

There is box to say you are on mat leave. I’m in my last few weeks of 12 months off and have just done the same.

Oops sorry posted to soon!!

However I would check if there's not an exemption for mat leave.

You answer it as no if the answer is no
