Temporary job and universal credits?

Posts: 6 Forumite
I am on universal credits and I find a "job" door to door with sales commission only.
They ask me to bring my insurance number, I think I will be there just for couple of weeks as most do. Should I start the job and what happen if I leave after just 1 months will I lose my universal credits?
Can first month without giving them my insurance number?

No you provide your national insurance number to employers and the employers will report any earnings to HMRC. Universal Credit should receive the earnings information from HMRC, so your Universal Credit award is adjusted.
You need to report on your Universal Credit online claim, that you have started work. Where it asks you how much per hour you will be paid, if this is commission only, you would answer £0.00. I would suggest that you send a journal note to your Work Coach explaining that you have started a commission only job and will advise them how well it goes.
Can I suggest that you research the company you will be working for, before you agree to work for them. Have you done a Google search to see what people say about them ?The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.0
