Description
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1028813/Budget_AB2021_Print.pdf#page=138 includes a provision to:
Universal Credit: maintain the surplus earnings de minimis threshold at £2,500 per month in 2022-23
The government will continue the temporary increase in the surplus earnings threshold to £2,500 for Universal Credit claimants until April 2023, when the threshold will reduce to £300.
I don't see this in https://github.com/PolicyEngine/openfisca-uk/tree/master/openfisca_uk/parameters/benefit/universal_credit

Research direction
Start by inspecting the Universal Credit parameter files under openfisca_uk/parameters/benefit/universal_credit and compare their dates and values with the linked Budget 2021 PDF. Done means the surplus earnings de minimis threshold is represented as £2,500 through April 2023 and £300 thereafter.
