Morning all.

I'm trying to work out whether we will be entitled to any UC once my maternity pay drops to the statutory amount after my enhanced period ends.

I've been on entitledto and it seems to think we'd be entitled to something, but not sure if I've done it right. I've selected 'employed - on maternity' for my employment status. It later talks about being in receipt of any benefit payments. Do I put the SMP amount in here or is that already taken into account (and therefore I put 0)?

Thanks

I can do a quick calculation if you let me know your age(s), whether couples or single claim, amount of SMP monthly and whether you have rent to pay. Also ages of any other children apart from baby. If private renting then the local housing allowance is necessary too.
