Universal Credit and letting a spare room out to lodgers?
If you lose your job and have no savings and go on to Universal Credit, could you also let out a spare bedroom to lodgers without the UC being affected? Or would all lodger income be deducted from the Universal Credit

if you are claiming money for being unemployed - then you are entitled to that regardless of your financial situation. However, if you are claiming benefits that at means testing, eg things like help with rent - then income, including rent from lodgers will be taken into consideration

Letting out a spare room to lodgers won't affect your universal credit. However, if you rent (especially if it's social housing) things may get complicated.
