Working on LCWRA

Hi, I’ve just been awarded LCWRA, I was still going to work once a week, or once a month even depending how well I feel to do so (my disability is unpredictable).
But if I choose to take some shifts will I be required to still engage with work search reviews? Or will they still remain off? Those were what were giving me anxiety/making my condition worse
So I’m scared to take on a couple shifts in case I need to keep going through with phone calls from them 🤦🏽♀️
Also, is there anything I need to be careful with working? As I don’t want my LCWRA taken off me, as I need it so badly

LCWRA means you now have no commitments in terms of work search etc. Even if you work alongside.
You now have a work allowance. You can a certain amount that is ignored before your UC is reduced.
£404 per month (if you get help with housing costs via Housing Element), or £673 if you don't get housing help.
After this sum, the normal UC deduction for earnings applies (UC reduced by 55p for every £1 earned).
As long as the job doesn't contradict the reason you claim you should be fine.

@Kimmy87 thank you for your response. Sorry for so many questions, universal credit tell you nothing and I’m too scared to ask them.
Think that’s all I wanted to know, thank you.
