    Hi,

    Yes, the work allowance applies to both because it's part of your claim. If you're claiming the housing element the work allowance is £292 and £512 per month if you don't claim the housing element.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
