Repay maternity pay if you don't go back?

[Babyface]

I'm caucasian and went back to the UK to have my first baby. I decided whilst i was there that I wouldn't be returning to my previous employers so contacted my HR to tell them so. I didn't have to repay any of my maternity pay but I had been working for them for 11 years so maybe this made the difference.

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Repay maternity pay?

Hi all,

Does anyone have any updates on this topic?
Would you need to repay the maternity pay if you dont go back to work?

Thanks
