    You may get WTC; you'll lose incapacity and income support and quite a bit of (or all) housing benefit and council tax benefit.

    Put your new details (how much you'll earn, the hours you'll be doing etc...) into the benefits calculators below to find out what you'll be entitled to.

    You won't be able to claim IB as you are fit to work, your income support is likely to end but that really depends on how much you'll be earning and your other circumstances.

    HB/CTB are income assessed so you'll have to inform the council and they'll let you know if you are still entitled to any help.

    You should still get CTC and may get WTC

    You can't claim IS if you work over 16 hours per week.
