UC!!!
Just received my last SMP Payment and currently looking at going back to work in June. Does anyone know if I can apply to UC or is it too early since I just received a payment?

It can take five weeks from starting a uc claim to get paid so I’d do it now rather than later
No you can apply whenever! They work out how much you’re entitled to based on your answers to the questions, and then work out deduction’s based on your previous months income. We managed to claim UC whilst I was on mat leave as my partner got injured at work and lost his job and it was a life saver!!!!
You can deffo apply, I’m on UC currently returning to work in June. It may take a while for you to receive your first payment so ask for an advance which may be around £900 x
Lots of people are eligible for UC even if they are working
