Help with universal credit

[Leeds22]

Hi sorry if this is in the wrong place but desperate for help! Not sure how to start a new thread. I live with my partner and her 5 yr old girl and we are expecting a new arrival at the end of October. I have a full time job that I work 35 hours a week working. Things have become hard at work with Rota and contract changes and am looking for any advice on hours working?
We receive universal credit and when I checked through the calculator we could be on the same income if I dropped a lot of my hours, I spend a lot travelling to work too so added bonus! Just wondered if anyone with knowledge or a similar situation could give me any advice, thank you very much to anyone that could help !

If anyone needs more info I can offer more if needs be

Not sure what the question is?

Are you sure you’d have the same income? Does your partner work?

I think as long as you’re earning the equivalent of full time hours on minimum wage then you should be ok to drop, but if not they will probably expect you to look for more hours. I’d check with citizens advice or somewhere just to make sure before you make any changes.

I do t understand why you would work less than 35 hours unless you are sick/disabled or a carer.
It’s not really ok to drop hours to claim benefits otherwise.
