If you’re expecting a baby, you might be wondering if you can get maternity allowance and whether you can still claim it if you are on Universal Credit.
With money tight for millions of households across the UK, knowing how much maternity pay you will receive is crucial to helping you budget more effectively when you start maternity leave. When you understand how maternity pay is calculated, you can assess how soon you might need to return to work. It’s also worth knowing who pays for maternity leave and which benefits you might be entitled to.
