    With UC all the elements you are entitled to are added up, before any deductions are made.

    For you this would be Standard Allowance and Housing Element.

    If your wages reduce or stop then the deductions on your payment will also reduce or stop.

    You can use a benefits calculator to estimate various scenarios.
