Hi, there's a flat come up for £1300- the LHA amount for 2 bedrooms. I'll be going back to work part time in September earning around £950 & I'm a single parent with one child on UC.
Does anyone know roughly how much they'll pay towards my rent & how much my UC will be cut? I'm currently getting just over 600 for me and my child.
I want to make sure I can afford the rent & cost of living if I go for this flat but UC won't give me any real answers. Anyone with any experience of this?
Thanks

If the LHA for your area is £1300 that’s how much they will pay. The deductions due to earnings tend to come from the £600 the pay you before they start deducting from your rent if that makes sense
Ok yh, that makes sense. Thanks for replying! Appreciate it :)
