Can anyone tell me how many hours one can work without affecting pension credit?

Basically none!
All earnings are treated as income and deducted from your pension credit £ for £ with a disregard of £5 for a single claimant and £10 for a couple.

Click on the link and read what it says about earnings and how they work it out.
You need to read from 86005 onwards.
it can be quite complicated to work out so just inform Pension Credit when you start work, how many hours you work and how much you are paid.
What sort of work is this or are you thinking of doing?0
