in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi I am in receipt of LWRCA, UC and PIP. I have been offered a part time job (8 hours a week) which feels doable for me, I will earn around £320 per month, do I need to inform UC, and will there be a reduction to my benefits?

Thanks

    Because you have LCWRA, you have a work allowance of £404 (if claiming Housing Element) or £673 (without HE).

    This means earnings under that amount will be ignored before any deductions are made (£0.55 for every £1 earned).

    You do still need to report the change when you start work.
