Using entitledto.com - hours you work while on SMP

Been advised to have a quick look on entitledto.com now that I'm home on leave and so our income is going to plummet (plan is not to return full time after leave).
However in the first section it asks if you work and how many hours. Well at the moment I assume the answer is no I'm not working any hours? But then in 2011/12 income I obviously put last years wage (as was working full time) and in the 2012/13 section I declare what will be my income and that I'm on SMP.
But does saying no instantly affect my chance of tax credits of any sort? It keeps alerting me that I'm declaring an income but saying I'm not working, so I'm confused!

You need to put in your usual working hours before you went on leave, because even though you are on maternity leave you are still employed.0
