    Does Permitted Work still exist with UC or does the whole benefit now work in a different way?
    There is an earnings limit which applies to exclude a referral for a WCA in the first place (subject to exceptions). As poppy says earnings and/or hours worked have no impact on LCW or LCWRA once awarded.
    And the earnings limit does not apply if someone is claiming PIP (presumably ditto if they're still claiming DLA) 
    That’s one of the exceptions I alluded to.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    My mistake, I totally didn't register that part of your comment, sorry.
    (I knew you know the exception anyway, stating it was for the benefit of the OP.)
