My son has moved to UC he is not expected to work but he wants to the company he lives with Eden Futures have offered him a little job from home that's seated
When he moved from ESA to UC he got the top up as he had been in receipt of the severe disability amount

Hi tiggs

I think you have little to worry about as a job with Eden Futures should be ideal for him.
With ESA there was Permitted Work and Supported Permitted Work. These have now gone with Migration to UC and instead with UC there is a Work Allowance for those like your son with a disability.
Have you tried using a Benefits Calculator such as Entitledto.co.uk to predict how much better off he should be doing some work ?
