    There is no limitation on the amount of work you can do with LCWRA if the work you do contradicts the reasons you were found to have LCWRA that could prompt a reassessment.

    Because you don’t claim help with rent, the first £573/month of earnings are disregarded. There is a deduction of 55% of anything over that.

    If you do start working then you will need to report a change of circumstances and tell them you are working.

    Only your net earnings after tax, Ni and any pension contributions are looked at for UC.

    Welcome to the community @denise21 :) How's your weekend been going so far?

    I hope that the above replies have been helpful!

    What kind of work are you looking to get into? Just out of interest.
