SMP & moving abroad

Can someone please tell me if I continue to receive my SMP if I move overseas?

I am being made redundant at the start of my maternity leave, so won't be returning to work.

Are you moving within the EU?...

No, back to Australia.

Whether you'll continue to receive the benefit probably depends on the way the Australian social system is set up. In the meantime, according to the DWP website if you leave the UK you have to notify them. I expect they'll tell you what happens next.

Thank you Chil123 - I hadn't seen that part of the site before.
