Thinking of getting a full-time job while on LCRWA

peachtea1 · September 24

Hello,

I am thinking about pursuing an apprenticeship which includes full-time hours but I am concerned that my LCRWA will be taken away as a result of this. May I receive some support in understanding what may happen to my universal credit if I was to do this, as it is a big change.

Thank you so much☺️

hello thank you for this, unfortunately two of the previous threads you included are for part-time, I am wanting to go down the full-time route

Hi @peachtea1. I've found some information for you on Apprenticeships and Benefits which could be useful. It goes through the criteria for undertaking an apprenticeship and claiming benefits. It suggests using the https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk/ to determine how much you will get.

It's an exciting new change and I hope it goes really well for you!
