The Universal Credit 'work allowance' - the amount you can earn before benefits are clawed back - is being raised THIS weekend.

The threshold will change from £198 a month to £287 for many claimants from Saturday, April 6.

This works out at over £1,000 a year.

Once you earn over that threshold, your Universal Credit is cut by 63p for every extra £1 you earn.

The huge U-turn announced at November's Budget is worth up to £630 a year for families.

It is costing the Treasury £1.7billion a year.
