    Hi @aaalirezaaa, Your universal credit will continue if you start work, they will just reduce your payments depending on how much you earn each month. As long as you tell them that you are starting work, it should all be okay.

    The only thing to bear in mind is whether the work that you're doing contradicts the reasons why you have LCWRA in the first place as sometimes that can cause a few issues down the line. But if it doesn't there shouldn't be a problem, you just need to report the change to say that you're working 😊

    I hope it works out for you!

    You have the work allowance, which means you can receive a certain amount of earnings each month before deductions apply.

    If you claim for help with the rent it will be £404/month, if you don’t it will be £673/month. For every £1 of earnings over those amounts your UC will reduce by 55p.
