“the claimant must declare that his or her earned income is not expected to exceed £330 during the period of one month starting with the date on which the claim for UC is made; “

But don’t do too much work now or we won’t pay you…

What a load of contradictory nonsense from DWP!

So 12 hours a week at minimum wage is what to aim for?

Of course, if you’re self-employed, they’ll make sure that you’re earning below £330 but treat you as earning more.  Aah; simplicity!
