LCWRA & thanks

Hi Peter

Your question is outside the remit of the forum. You do need to seek advice from a Welfare Rights Organisation so as not to affect your benefits.

You have a choice of three types of permitted work, depending on your circumstances:

permitted work lower limit;
permitted work higher limit; and
supported permitted work.

Permitted work can include paid employment or self-employment. There is no limit as to how long you can do permitted work for.

You must inform the DWP that you are due to start permitted work; call 0800 169 0310 or use form PW1.

Permitted work lower limit

This allows you to earn up to £20 a week.

Permitted work higher limit

You can earn up to £143 a week (from 12 April 2021), after tax and national insurance deductions. The work must be for less than 16 hours a week.
