Im about to make the transition from permitted work into full time, with my wife also starting full time work for first time . Will I loose my housing benefit?

I'm adfraid i can't answer that question because it will depend on your joint earnings. I see from a previous thread that your wife is NRPF but her earnings will still be taken into consideration when calculating benefits entitlement. Use a benefits calculator to check entitlement. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/benefits-calculatorYou must also report the changes to ESA because working full time will mean it will stop.Please also check entitlement to Universal Credit. If you claim this before your ESA stops then you'll be entitled to the LCWRA element from the start of your claim. You then have the work allowance, which will mean £379/month of earnings received will be ignored before the 55% deductions apply. Whether there's any entitlement will depend on your joint earnings.
