Working part time, disabled and universal credit?

Hi All
Up until this week, I have been signed off work for the past few months, due to new conditions and ongoing conditions (M.E, anxiety, dyspraxia, asperger's). I am however thrilled to say I have a) been accepted to study on a 1 day a week level 3 college course and have gotten part time work (up to twenty hours) at a local nursery. I have been claiming universal credit, and have mentioned my various health conditions to the job centre, but I was wondering how it works when you are working part time, does your claim get closed down? or do you still have to sign on?
I was just curious
many thanks:)

Your UC claim is not automatically closed down. Your earnings are taken into account in calculating your ongoing entitlement. If your earnings fluctuate your UC will vary also.
If you have any children or have been found to have limited capability for work you will have a work allowance which means that some of your earnings are ignored completely. Beyond this 63% of your net earnings are deducted from you maximum UC entitlement to work out what will be paid to you. The calculation is done every month based on what earnings you have received that month.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.0
