Hi,Unfortunately, because you claimed UC you can't go back onto tax credits because it no longer exists. If you work less than 16 hours per week then you can claim limited capability for work under UC.0

Isn't this the very real reason why UC came about? To further reduce dependency on benefits by those of working age?

Yup that's what it was meant to do. Some will be better off, others will be worse off. For UC the disabled element equivalent is LCWRA element and to claim this you have to have limited capability for work and to start the process off you need to be working less than 16 hours per week and send in fit notes from your GP. Working more than 16 hours means you don't have limited capability for work, unfortunately.
