Hello 
I’m on UC & get LWRCA 
I am struggling really badly with MH my GP is referring me to social prescriber & also a link to self referral for support with diagnosis.
i may have the chance of a part time job as I feel really guilty for not working 
the job is 5 hours a week 
can you help with my benefit that  I’ll  be due.
i get confused and tongue tied puts me off calling UC.
im over 25.
i hope that I’ve made sense.
Thank You

Because you receive LCWRA, you have a work allowance of £404 per month - I have assumed that you get help with your rent as part of UC - if you don't get help with your rent, you have a higher work allowance of £673 per month). This means you can earn £80 a week with no reducting in your UC payment. (I've calculated the figure of £80 based on a five week month and your work allowance being £404).

If you are working 5 hours a week, this means that if the rate of pay is £16 or less per hour, your UC payament will remain the same as it.

Hello 
I’ll be earning £11.44 an hour for 5 hours a week 
I get £416.19 LCWRA & over 25 universal credit amount , £540.00 toward the rent , I also get council tax discount   no children 
im so confused as to how much payment I can expect
Could you help me I have tried calling universal credit  they said I’d be deducted 55p from each £1 don’t understand the total I’d get 
thank you for reading & helping in advance

That works out way under the work allowance so nothing will be deducted from your UC. 

You will get the same UC you get now.

Hello long time no
post 
so I’ve been training in my job and doing overtime 
this month I’ve worked 71 hours a week  . I’m on £12.65 an hour  I usually just work 5 hours a week but there has been holiday cover & meeting this month at work so I’ve earned more than I normally plus it’s a 5 week month 
Ive all but lost my council tax discount ( still get 25% off as I’m on my own) paying £142 a month for the rest of the council tax year 
I have deductions from uc & I have lcwra as I have a 
long term disability ( physical ) and am receiving support for diagnoses for mental health from the local mental health service 
I really don’t know if I’m worth staying in work as I’m totally exhausted physically and mentally after each session I went back to work after enormous guilt at not working 
I live alone so I just wanted to say what I’ve typed .i rent my home 
Thank you for reading

Anyone would be exhausted working 71 hours a week. let alone someone who has been assessed as  having the highest level of limited capability for work.
