Universal Credit

[babysunshine20]

Hi my partner works full time. I look after my youngest who has just turned 3. Can I carry on staying at home to look after him until next year September. She will start school then and I will then go back to work. We currently get help with universal Credit. Will that continue now that she turned 3 last week? Or do I have to go back to work now? Thanks.

As long as your dh earns a certain amount which I'm sure he does if working full time then you would be put in light touch group and they wouldn't really make you do much to look for work to be honest, maybe the odd phone call to see what you are doing to prepare for work, maybe not even that, they are very lenient.

Hi thanks for replying. Yes my partner works 40 hours a week. I haven't heard of a light touch group. What's that all about that? Thanks for the info 👍

Hi my partner is self employed
If hes working does universal credit people force me into work and make me go to work coach meetings ?
