Community member Posts: 4 Listener
Hi I am housebound, self employed and because my earnings dont meat anywhere near minimum wages due to various changes in my physical limitations. I am being asked to provide a whole crazy list of photocopied supporting evidence and 16 weeks worth of detailed information on my daily tasks on each day I worked. Which I am simply not well enough to gather it would take up several weeks of my time to do.
Do I have any other options for support for self employment I am happy to reduce my hours from 16. Been self employed for 17 years was awarded pip last year, wondered if i can be self employed under permited work and anything I need to consider
