Universal Credit, daughter starting school in September

[scorpiogirly]

I wonder if anyone can give me some advice.

I currently work 16 hours a week and have done since dd was born. Ft before that, but had to go pt due to no help with childcare as a single parent and no family help.

My dd is starting school in September. What will then happen with UC? On the turn2us website, it said if you are already working and earn more than £335 per month, you won't be expected to change jobs. My currently salary is just under £700.

Will this be okay or will I be expected to change jobs?

They expect you to be earning 25 x nmw per week but really as long as you are earning more than the £335 they will do very little except encourage you to look for more hours.

UC seem to be more concerned about the money than the hours, tbh. I expect that if you're earning more than the equivalent of 25 x NMW, they'll leave you alone.
