Do I still have the right to my UWV benefit?

Hi, just a quick question...

I had 2 jobs before my pregnancy, 30 hours and 10 hours, both permanent contracts.

I got sick during my pregnancy, around week 28, because both jobs were too physically demanding. I kept working 4 hours a day on that 30-hour contract.

After maternity leave, I went back to work on that 30-hour contract. I'm now working 20 hours there and taking 10 hours of vacation time because I still have a lot of hours left.

But I stopped the other 10-hour job because it was too much for me. The only thing is, I'm still getting money from UWV for that 10-hour job. I called them and they said I'm still entitled to it until Nov 2017? But I was also busy with the little one, so now I'm still wondering if this is correct?

I haven't heard anything from UWV after my maternity leave either, about how things were going or anything like that. I don't really care even if it's not a lot, but I don't want to have to pay it all back later..

Has anyone had experience with a situation like this? Thanks in advance.

    If you don't trust it, just call UWV again and ask again. If necessary, ask if you can get it in writing because you don't want to repay money you're not entitled to. That way, I think you'll be in a stronger position if it turns out to be incorrect later on, and you'll have done everything in your power to follow the rules.
