Universal Credit Question

Hi Ryan

Universal Credit does not provide for 'permitted work'. If you are working , you can continue to claim universal credit as long as your earnings, and any other income you have, are less than a certain amount, calculated using the 'maximum amount' that applied in your case.

There is a guide to Permitted Work in our ESA/UC section, it is only 7 pages long but will answer most of the questions you may have. It is the second item down in blue writing when you click on the link.

If you have question then please come back to the forum.

Your confusion may stem from your assuming that Permitted Work was applicable to you, if you are only claiming UC as a carer then it isn't and would not be even if you were claiming an appropriate legacy benefit.

So, providing it is clear that you are still able to provide a minimum of 35 hours of care a week you can work as much as you want.
