Question relating to starting a job before being discharged

Hi everyone!

I became BR in September last year when I was off work sick at the time. I left the job in November. You guys were all a super help to me through that and here's hoping you can help me again!!
I am better now and have found a new job which I am due to start in the coming weeks.
Now, I have a couple of questions. How will my new income of £14,000 per year be affected by the OR? How much do they need you to have "spare" at the end of the month before they impliment a payment order?

Thanks in advance for your help!
