Can I work full time while on LCWRA?

in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi everyone,

I know that for LCW there is a limit of 16 hours a week, but does that apply to LCWRA as well? If I'm getting this extra component of £343 and start working more than 16 hours a week, will my award be suspended or will I keep getting UC + LCWRA minus 55p for each £1 that exceeds my work allowance? Of course provided my job does not contradict the reason why I'm claiming LCWRA. 

Thank you

    There isn’t.
    UC has no working limits but, as you say, if the work you do contradicts the reasons you were found to have LCW/LCWRA this may prompt a reassessment.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
