I assume you are referring to the benefit cap?If so, this is correct. If you earn less than £617 in an assessment period, then you will be subject to the benefit cap0

There's a 9 month grace period before the benefit cap affects you. How long have your earnings been below £617? Details here regarding the grace period. https://www.gov.uk/benefit-cap/how-earnings-affect-when-benefit-cap-starts
