Hi am waiting for my pip appeal i work 24hrs a week bring home pay £768 every 4wks after bills i am left with £5 for food and everything else, would i be able to claim universal credit

Hi,

That will depend on circumstances and other income. UC is a means tested benefit so if you live with a partner that works then you would claim as a couple.

All you can do is put all your details into a benefits calculator and see what it comes up with.

There's only one type of UC you can claim. https://www.turn2us.org.uk/Benefit-guides/Universal-Credit/What-is-Universal-Credit

Your PIP appeal won't affect UC because they're different benefits. Pop your details into a benefits calculator to see what if anything you could claim. Remember they are only as accurate as the information you put into them. https://www.entitledto.co.uk/

If you're unable to do that then i'd advise a visit to your local CAB who will do a full benefits check on you.
