Question

Can you go back to work in the UK without it your benefits?

Answer 1

It depends on what benefits you are receiving. You can claim working family/child tax credit regardless of how many hours you work, it is income based. However for jobseekers allowance (and i think Incapacity benefit as well), you can work 16 hours or less per week.

Answer 2

R you asking can you work and still get some benefits.

My friend is a single parent and works 16 hours per week and gets certain benefits. She gets rent allowance and some knocked off her council tax. She gets child tax credit and working tax credit as her earnings are less than 2000 per year.
