2 questions for anyone that might be able to advise:
1st question - when I am on SMP, will my student loans payments automatically stop? Or do I need to contact them to let them know? I really dont want to be chasing and trying to recoup money taken when my finances will be so so tight.
2nd question, I have asked my employer if during my maternity leave I can stop my pension contributions, but they have not confirmed this. Can I do this? And if so do their contributions also stop during this period?
Thanks!
