PIP won't be impacted.

If you have a dependent child, or LCW/LCWRA you have what's known as a work allowance on your claim.

This is the amount of money you can earn before UC make their standard deduction of 55p for every £1 earned.

If you receive Housing Element you can earn £411 a month before any deductions. If no HE, £673.

Try a benefits calculator to see if your UC award might be affected:

If you receive Council Tax Reduction this is decided at a local level and each local authority has different rules. It's very hard to advise on individual cases from here.

You would need to let them know if you start work and they will recalculate your award.
