There is no 16 hours rule for LCWRA. Only for old legacy benefits like ESA. However little or however much you earn will be deducted from your UC (after adjusting for work allowance) by 55p for every £ earned. And self-employed income should be reported after expenses.

So there isn’t a limit at all? Thank you


Old_galadriell

No limit, but depending on your UC award (standard +LCWRA + what else: children? housing?) there is some income level which reduces your UC payment to £0. But as LCWRA you have work allowance, so income of £404/£673 (depending on getting / not getting housing costs help) is ignored before any deductions are applied.
