Help with the costs of work or starting work

Universal Credit and work

You may still be able to receive Universal Credit payments when you start work or increase your earnings. You will continue to receive Universal Credit until your earnings are high enough, at which point your payments will stop. That amount will depend on your circumstances.

Paying for childcare

If you need help with the cost of childcare, there are various options available. You can also use the government’s childcare calculator to see what you might be entitled to.

Childcare Choices also provides information about all the schemes available to help with childcare costs, including for school age children, before and after school and in the holidays.
