big_gus said: My payment of £552per month is both Child Tax Credit and Working Tax credit so I don’t know whether the latter is more beneficial to me than the £94 per week UC?😶

I guess, more importantly, once the world is back up and running will this prevent me earning WTC if my UC claim goes through?
Thanks for your reply. 

You would get more than £94/week on UC because you get extra money money for children (and for rent if applicable). What you get depends on your circumstances which is why I gave you a link to a calculator.

You also need to be aware of the Minimum Income Floor https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/on-universal-credit/how-the-minimum-income-floor-works-if-youre-self-employed/
it will be suspended for you at the moment but could impact you in the future if you remain on UC.

if you claim UC you cannot return to Tax Credits.
