I'm guessing as I haven't seen these questions before, that they are in relation to your eligibility for ESA.

As you are self-employed they need details of your business, in the same way as they will need details of your personal bank accounts etc., in order to decide whether you actually qualify for what I again assume, is Income Related ESA.

You need to provide the information requested, or where you can't, explain your reasons for not doing so.

With regard your questions,, I would fill it in as you have in your post, but also explain why.

I hope this explains it.

I am presently under JSA and to be eligible for the JSA I had to provide these informations. Since I am under JSA, shouldn't it be easier?

Obviously not a good day for assumptions. :)

If you are claiming JSA, why do you think you are being migrated to ESA, there is no migration path from one to the other?

JSA is for those seeking work, whereas ESA is for those unable to work due to illness or disability!

We don't asdvise on JSA, but if you are claiming Income Related JSA, then this information would be required to decide eligibility.
