Help with claiming Universal Credit on maternity leave

[erised24]

I start my maternity leave today and want to try claiming UC. When filling in the form it's asking if I'm currently working which obviously now won't be for a while, what do I answer? (before mat leave I was on furlough since March). It's also asking if I have any kids which I technically don't right now but will have in the next month. Not sure what to put!

You put your normal working hours and they can see you are on SMP because it comes from your employer.

You answer yes to employment too because you're still employed

If there also isn't an option to add baby's due date put no children then as soon as baby is born update it which is important to do with any change

Yes. If you have a partner they need to do a separate claim then you link the claims together.
