Hi Poppy, I want to go into work but I am disabled and on pip and lcwra. Will I get Working tax credit and what if I have a child will I get child tax credit? Already in Universal credit

No because Tax Credits have ended for new claims (actually will cease entirely in April) and been replaced by Universal Credit.
With LCWRA you can earn a certain amount of money, know as the work allowance, before UC make their usual deduction from your award of £0.55 for every £1 earned in wages.
If you have Housing Element then the work allowance is £404. If not, it's £673.
Try a benefits calculator for an idea.
