Help with making a UC claim while on furlough - Work status, earnings.

Hi, can someone please help, I'm filling out a Universal Credit application out online and I'm not sure how to answer the following questions in the work status section,
"Are you currently working?" - I am on furlough so I answer yes?
"Approximately, how many hours do you work?" - Do I put my normal working hours when I was working before being furloughed?
"How much do you usually earn?" - This is the confusing part, do I put my 80% furlough amount I'm currently receiving or my normal full amount?
How will they know that I'm on furlough and receiving less?
Thank you.

Q1 Yes you are still employed
Q2 Put your normal working hours before furlough
Q3 Put the furlough amount
They will get to know the exact amount you earn anyway. HMRC will report it to them via RTI reports that your employer makes when running payroll."All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."
