Working via a umbella company and the OR

Sorry have submitted it on another thread will delete it.
Im desperate to work but will work as a contractor via a umbrella company, so i may earn 600 pound per week , but am able to reclaim eg 300 pound as expenses which i dont pay tax on etc, what would the OR consider as the earnings: As the pay slip will prob show around min wage but the actual paid amount could be double. It is not illegal, its how it works with hmrc and the subcontractor market.
The job would be out of area so the expense claims are genuine but of course the expenses are more generous than actual costs e.g mileage is .45p per mile , i will do 1000k return miles per week in a borrowed family car.
i can then claim for expenses towards bfast, lunch, dinner etc as im out over 10 hours per day etc.
The problem is, as its temp work it could be cut at any time and i rather not get a suspended IPA for that period, because ive just spent near on 12 months out of work , the first time in years and the cause of my BR.
I wouldnt be able to afford to do the job either without the expenses or borrowed car. But doing this work i feel will get me more work as not working i think has hindered me from getting work.
