    Hi,

    It won't affect it at all because when claiming LCW you have a work allowance and can earn a certain amount without it affect any of your UC payments. You'll just receive less money if you don't work because you won't receive any wages.

    You still get the standard rate. What you get each month will depend on your husbands earnings each month. Best thing to do is to use a benefits calculator and put both of your details into that. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/
