Under Universal Credit it should technically work that way. In theory. It doesn't actually work as well as was intended. It was one of the main reasons for the new system.
Under the old benefits system it just didn't work that way at all. If you went to work for a week and your benefits "paused", you'd be unlikely to see another penny for 12+ weeks. Even if the money gets backdated, it's just not really feasible.
