Finally got a start date
Finally got a start date for my new job. It is a zero hour contract, all I know is I have asked for up to 25 hours as I cannot work full time. Some weeks I may have more hours of work than others. Do I inform both ESA and Universal Credit or just one of them?

For ESA and permitted work the rules are that you can't work 16 hours or more per week. To continue with your ESA you must work less than 16 hours per week and earn no more than £152/week. If you work over the permitted work rules wour ESA will end.https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employment-and-support-allowance-permitted-work-form/permitted-work-factsheet You must report the changes to ESA.For UC you must report a change of circumstances once you start working and tell them you're working. Your employer will report your earnings to HMRC and DWP will check with those.Any earnings received over your work allowance will reduce your UC by 55%.Good luck with the job.

Thank you @poppy123456. I think I'm ready for this now. So I'll inform them both once I start.0
