    Then it will still be housing benefit but as i advised, i can't give any advice on that. When you start working you need to make sure you report the changes to housing benefit (local Authority) then your housing benefit will be recalculated.

    Please also be aware that when you claim UC if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then it could go against you at your next review.

    I have schizophrenia, voices, tactile pain, hallucinations- but they mostly in the evenings. Odd breakout now and then- I don’t think two day of work will contradict- I have to have a nurse give me a Depo injection every month- I can’t administer my medication my self- I have therapists and Care coordinator (social worker) that’s a nurse. I live in supported housing for mental health and will be for at least the next 5 years.. I doubt it will go against me. It’s working on the trains- so I’m only wheeling a trolly.
