Increase in Hours!

Redqueen74

Hi, I've increased my hours of work from 16 to 20 hours so do I need to report this on my UC journal?! I've seen some reports where you don't have to unless you're self employed, Thankyou.

Hi @Redqueen74. I found this information:

Working hours do not affect Universal Credit. Universal Credit is paid to people in or out of work, and you (or your partner) can work any number of hours and still qualify. Your Universal Credit payments will adjust to your earnings. 

So it seems you don't need to tell them, however, I would always suggest letting them know so they're aware of your circumstances.
