Hi all I’m currently pregnant with 5th baby I work part time and my partner works full time, when I go on maternity will universal credit ‘top up’ my wage when maternity pay drops? It’s very confusing online trying to find info out I know I won’t get paid maternity leave for the full year I’m off so will my existing UC cover the short fall? Thank you

When your pay falls, all other things being equal, you UC will increase. However it won't increase by the same amount as your pay has fallen as UC only deduct 55% of your wages, not 100%.
