MA question

What will happen to the MA payment from DWP if we go back to work part time? Can I still continue receiving it?

It will stop, as soon as you are paid via PAYE, then maternity allowance or SMP will stop automatically. If you are NOT self-employed when you go on maternity leave, then you can work self-employed during maternity leave.

I’m sure any earnings wipes it out and maternity leave effectively stops. Your KIT days don’t count for this I don’t think. (I have just checked you can only do your 10 kit days on MA without it affecting. Any other paid work on a self employed or employed basis will stop MA.

@Jayde only if on SMP can you work self employed while on mat leave this doesn’t apply for maternity allowance unfortunately

@Jayde I was working full time before.. and what if I just plan to go back doing part time? Will it the entire MA stop or just a percentage of it? X

You can do your KIT days without it stopping but it will stop if you do any more than the 10 duys of KIT days
