I work and get help with UC as a top up as I'm a single mom to an 8 YO I also have a baby on the way. Today was my last day at work before going on SMP what do I do in terms of UC? Does smo class as my earnings or not I've looked on Google but haven't had a definitive answer and I'm slightly confused 😅 any help is appreciated.

SMP is treated the same way as earnings. You will still get the work allowance applied to your claim.

Update your uc journal to state you are on maternity leave.
If you’re only getting SMP UC will treat it as wages. Make sure you add baby to your claim once they arrive!
