You may be able to claim Universal Credit while working; there is no fixed number of hours that automatically prevents a claim. Your payment usually reduces as your earnings rise, and you may receive a work allowance if you have children or a health condition affecting your ability to work. Eligibility also depends on factors such as your household income, savings, rent, immigration status and circumstances. Check your situation using the official GOV.UK Universal Credit guidance and calculator, and report changes in work or earnings as required.
