Hello there @ella1992
Thanks for making this post and asking us about your UC.
Have you seen this page over on the Entitled To website? It contains information about the UC work allowance and allows you to see what your work allowance should be for your particular UC claim. The work allowance would be the amount you can earn before your UC is impacted.

Sorry forgot to add I oready get work capability assessment from 2020 I work between 8 and 9 week but iv been offered extre 15hours I need to no if I will lose my work capability money or not0

Any earnings above your work allowance will reduce your UC by 55%. So for example if your earnings are £700 per month and your work allowance is £344. Then £356 of your earnings will be affected by the 55% deductions. To work that out you x 356 x 0.55 = £195.80 deductions.Hope this helps you work out how much your increased earnings will affect your UC.0

Iv just uploaded it now not sure if it's showing or0

So see the distinction I have made in my previous post. What you have quoted says you will be automatically treated as Ft for Work if you earn over the threshold UNLESS one of the exceptions in the bullet points above apply, one of which is already having a WCA decision that has found you not Fit for Work.

If you claim for help with the rent then your deductions will be £162.80/month.If you don't claim for help with the rent then your deductions will be £36.85/month.Please remember that UC is based on earnings received during your assessment period. If earnings fluctuate then so will your UC entitlement.0

I get help with rent0

So the deductions will be £162.80. This is based on earnings received of £640/month.
