    No impact on your PIP.

    You can work with LCWRA, any work does need to be reported to UC.

    You can earn £404 (if claiming Housing Element) or £673 (without HE) before UC makes their standard deduction of £0.55p off your award for every pound earned.

    It's due to rise in April to £411/£674

    This is known as the work allowance.

    Hey there @shazza786 and welcome to the community.
    It's great to hear you're wanting to change your life around and I really hope you manage to find that joy. 😊 I can see Kimmy has already answered your questions, but I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hi and good luck.

    It's not about having a set number of hours you can or can't work with UC, only the work allowance applies as I explained.

    If you were planning to use your Motability car as the Uber vehicle, you'd need to ask Motability for permission.
