ESA to UC migration: Permitted work

Hi,

I have been going through the ESA to UC migration. I had my 'entitlement to UC approved' on the 19th of March, according to my Journal.

I have a complication relating to the Permitted Work I did while being in the ESA Support group. I did a tiny amount of administrative self-employed work. My entire earnings from this work for the 2023-2024 tax year were £960, and for the 2024-2025 year they were £213. Normally with annual earnings of under £1000 you do not have to even register with the HMRC. However, the client was based abroad, so I had to register with the HMRC in order to get a Tax Residency Certificate.

I thus had to state that I was Self-Employed on my UC claim, even though I am migrating from the ESA Support Group. I have now been ordered to have a Self-Employment meeting this Friday and provide evidence in regards to my Self-Employment. As I have kept business records I am worried that I will be considered 'organised' and therefore gainfully self-employed, and thus moved into that bracket within UC rather than being in the group that is not expected to do work-related activity.

Any opinions and advice gratefully received. Also, if anyone has any understanding of there being any equivalent to 'Permitted Work' in UC I'd like to learn about it.
