This is for people working less than 16 hours per week who are signing on for work.

Although it is more difficult for someone who is self-employed to establish the number of hours a week they work than it is if you are in employment, if you supply full details to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), you may be able to claim this benefit rather than ceasing to trade altogether.

The benefit can also ease the transition in running your business down and looking for employment if this is your choice.

The DWP would expect you to take up full-time employment if offered to you.
