Return to work help- England
My maternity allowance letter end 24th March 2024. When do I return to work, without affecting payments?? Do I wait for the last payment then return?
Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I have tried phone DWP but just get left on hold for up to 45 mins and cut off.
I am also not returning to my old job. They have blocked me of all forms of contact whilst on maternity after I said I didn’t wish to do any keeping in touch days. They merged with another company, changed my manager and hours without telling me but I had access to my rota as they would only put blocks of 3 months down for maternity and I saw the changes made. I cannot even hand in my notice now as phone calls and emails have been blocked, even if they email me first I am blocked as not on the internal listings.
Picture below- I was responding with availability for them to phone me to discuss returning to work
Any help or tech savvy people thank you

No everything is accessed via their own systems and internal. There is one contact number that I have been blocked from too. It’s WTF so to be honest they couldn’t care less due to the size of the organisation. My computers are all packed away due to space. They were also difficult to contact when I was working but needed to stay as bills needed paying
I see but if you haven’t handed in a notice and they haven’t officially terminated your contract - you are still employed by them. You need to get in contact and let them know what you wish to do if that is to return to work or not. X

Do you have your managers or team members personal number ? Or office reception to contact them? It’s a bit odd they have blocked you from contacting them. I had the same issue - I had to contact the IT department to fix the problem. I also did not partake in any keeping in touch days except one meeting I had on zoom in November. I also had emails when big changes occurred to update me. I return the beginning of next month.
