Disability element of Universal credit was created by Honey bee
Hi, I’m new to here, so bear with me. I’m living alone & have MS & a Crohn’s disease. I get higher rate of mobility & care on pip. I work 26 hours a week & I was going to apply for UC, the calculator states that if I get a disability element, I would receive some help on UC, but without this I receive nothing. I’m confused with the capability for work stuff & was wondering if I’m already working although my hours were reduced 5 years ago because of fatigue would I qualify for the disability element of UC. Sorry if this is a muddle & TIA
