Government Grant

I am getting free central heating & solar panels as I am currently unemployed and receiving Universal Credit. The work will start next week.  
I will be 66 this year so I am still obliged to look for work and, to be honest, I really need money as I also have debts to pay.

How do I stand if I were to get a job please?

    Once the work is completed, by a radiator and keep yourself warm.
    The grant was awarded based on your status at the time of application. Once the work is completed, they have no interest in a change of circumstances.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
