Hello everyone I hope you all are okay. I am a little stress and need information. I get pip and get housing benefits, I have decided to work part time I will be working 16 -20 hours a week but wanted to know if my housing benefits will stop? As I won't be able to afford my rent but at the same time I want to get back in to employment.

Your Housing Benefit will be affected. You could try a benefits calculator to see what impact there will be.Are you claiming anything else?Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

If you start working you will need to report the changes to HMRC as well.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi @solly1902 have our members replies helped to answer your question at all, or is there anything you're still unsure about?
I hope you're looking forward to working a new job soon? What sort of work are you looking into?

@solly1902 try the benefit calculators like others suggested as wage deductions can sometimes be better on UC so you might find you'd be better off switching if you start work but try different calculations to see
