Maternity allowance final payment

[Woodlandsmum]

Hi just wondering if anyone knows about the last payment of maternity allowance. I'm usually paid every 2 weeks, the last one I received being Weds
8th Jan (38th week), however that would leave me with one week left to be paid. I haven't had this yet, today being my final day, 39th week after starting to claim. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of when you receive the last payment of the remaining amount? Thank you

If your payment schedule was 2 weekly you’ll receive it the following week but with just 1 weeks payment

I imagine it'll be next week but half the amount you usually get.

Thank you so much both, that makes sense, having it scheduled same time but just for a lesser amount. I appreciate it, saved me a long wait on hold to DWP.
