LCWRA is part of UC and there's no maximum amount of hours you can work. If you do start working you'll need to "report a change of circumstances" then tell them you're working.You will have the work allowance which means that a certain amount of earnings received each month will be ignored before any deductions apply. If you claim for help with the rent the work allowance will be £379/month, if you don't it will be £631/month. Anything over this will reduce your UC by 55%.Please also be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then it can go against you at your next review.1
