    Yes you can work.

    Depending on what you earn you may receive a lower amount of UC. PIP is unaffected.

    Maybe try to use a calculator like entitledto to see how much you would get if you were working.

    Good luck and its good to see you are looking to work even if its just from home.

    If you get Housing Element you can earn £411 month before the standard deduction is made (£0.55 for every pound earned).

    If you don't get Housing Element that amount is £684.

    @Kimi87 thank you for the reply I do appreciate your help so if you don't mind me asking where do you see this information? And is that every month? So if I get like 683 pound they well give full UC lcwra and pip would it be cut down I'm sorry for all the questions and I'm not trying to be greedy if it looks it I just want a understanding of where I stand on this matter as I explained if I get like 400 one month nothing the next but make 300 the next I don't want to just straight up lose my benefits because I trying if that makes sense to you thanks again

    It's called the work allowance.
