Will change of hours move us to UC

We currently receive tax credits as a couple working 35 hours between us, I work 25 wife 10.

I'm currently receiving treatment for cancer, spent 8 weeks in hospital followed by 7 weeks of chemo and radiotherapy.

Was hoping to maintain my 25 hours, but finding it increasingly difficult.

If I drop down to 14 hours we will obviously lose the 30 hour element but will it also move us on to UC?

If so, I have a 2nd property which has a tenant in it, does this mean we won't be eligible for anything?

We can't just kick the tenant out and despite being asset rich, the cash we have will soon run out

What are we supposed to do during the time of getting tenant out and selling 2nd property?
