This why the replies confused me. But I accept that I must have worded my op wrong.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi dannyufcfan
We would advise you to seek advice from your local Welfare Rights Organisation as they will be able to take all your circumstances into consideration when giving you advice such as, do you claim any housing cost? If you do then you would get the Low Work Allowance , if you don't then you would get the High Work Allowance, before the earnings taper is taken into account.

Sorry - i should have clarified that the amount you are allowed to earn without deductions is dependent on your circumstances.
My son did not claim any housing element. His UC only had the LCWRA element.
Also important to mention if you take on any work that contradicts the reason for you being in LCWRA, you will lose your LCWRA.
In my son's case, he was already doing supported voluntary work at a cafe providing opportunities for disabled adults when he was placed in LCWRA.
His work never changed - they just decided he deserved a few paid hours after 8 YEARS unpaid!
I expect he would have lost his LCWRA had he flourished in a full time high st cafe job unsupported.
And i do know of a young man in LCWRA that is actually barred from any work on account of drug addiction and psychosis.
So - yes best to check your own circumstances.
