New earnings levels announced for passport to health costs.  As UC calculated monthly does that mean you could be eligible one month but not the next if your income fluctuates? How on earth is that going to work in practice? Do you go to the dentist during the month you don’t work many hours?!

It does depend on an assessment period to assessment period test,  The same though is effectively true of a on JSA / off JSA test currently.

Theses thresholds are a way of trying to recreate the FT / PT work differentiation of current benefits.
