Housing benefit while working

Hi all, I wonder if anyone knows what the highest salary you can get while receiving housing benefit / UC. I am looking for part time work and hoping to eventually go back to full time once I get back on my feet properly, but still need some financial assistance at the moment. Thanks

Show your support

you can work up to 16 hours a week on uc while claiming housing

There's a cap to how much you can earn before UC gets reduced but it depends on your circumstance I think

This site will help you to calculate your take home after the deduction https://benefits-calculator.turn2us.org.uk

@Incog yes I think that’s what I need to know. If anyone has that info pls.

@Selam_s thx !

I think the highest salary has just increased to £411 p/m.. Anything above, UC takes 55p of every £1 earned. But use the calculator Selam sent to double check as I'm saying this from vague knowledge. Hope that helps!

@Incog it sure does
