If I started working for £23,000 a year, would my UC with carer element stop?

Good Morning Guys
I have a query regarding Universal credit and working conditions.
I currently receive a UC payment of £1400 every month includingy carer element. However I have just been offered a job with a salary of £23,000 a year.
So if I did accept the job would they stop my benefit or how will ot actually work? Any advise would be much appreciated

Hi there
From what I understand your uc will reduce by 63p in the £1 for every pound you earn
Unless you have a work allowance for either children on your claim or lcwra
Try using a benefits calculator to enter all your details there is one here in benefits section or on gov website0 -
I understand however if I work 30 hours full time, am I still able to claim career elements?0
-
Yes you can still claim carers element of uc
However if you claim carers allowance there is a earnings limit and your earnings would take you over this
But as above carers in uc is still paid if working as long as you still care for person 35 hours or more0 -
I dont claim career allowance. I only claim career element on UC. But thank you very much for the information it was really useful0

Your welcome
Good luck with the job hope it all works out0 -
Unlike Carer's Allowance there is no earnings limit for the carer element of UC.0

Thank you guys for all the info. Also, just to confirm if they deduct will they calculate my salary after tax o4 before?0

I'm not 100% sure of the answer I presume it will be after deductions0
