    Are you self employed? 'Over' 35 hours at minimum wage is more than £700 a month.

    Why are UC saying you don't qualify? You need to give more info for someone to accurately help you.

    How old are you?

    Why did you have to apply for Universal Credit if you were already receiving working tax credit? Did you move to a Universal Credit area and needed to claim housing benefit?

    If you get winter fuel allowance are you of pension age? Universal Credit is only available to working age people.

    As others have said you will need to provide more detail in order for people to advise. Would be helpful if you confirmed your age and why you have applied for UC.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
