Hi @kami24
You certainly arent alone in being confused with UC, it is a really confusing system!
It might be worth you checking the benefits calculator to see what that comes out with? Im sure someone with more information will be alond to help soon.Scope

If you’re on PiP then you can work upto 16 hours per week to claim tax credits, this would mean you’d have to sign off JSA.

I think it would be UC too if you are on pip if you are in the disabled group isn't it or has that changed and no one gets anything whilst working ??
