Hi

I wonder if anyone can clarify this. The relevant bits are copied and pasted from the Universal Credit pdf. I'm taking from this that the Minimum In come Floor doesn't apply to some disabled people eg those in the Support Group and maybe those in the WRAG ie those in the WRAG are only subject to work preparation early, aren't they?

Gainful self-employment
Minimum income floor
62.—(1) Where, in any assessment period, a claimant is in gainful self-employment (see
regulation 64) and the claimant’s earned income in respect of that assessment period is less than the
minimum income floor, the claimant is to be treated as having earned income equal to the minimum
income floor..........

(5) Paragraph (1) does not apply where—
(a) Regulation 2A was inserted by S.I.2012/822.
38
(a) the assessment period falls within a start-up period or is the assessment period in which
a start-up period begins or ends; or
(b) the claimant falls within any of the following sections of the Act—
(i) section 19 (claimants subject to no work-related requirements), except by virtue of
regulation 90,
(ii) section 20 (claimants subject to a work focused interview requirement only), or
(iii) section 21 (claimants subject to a work preparation requirement only).


It's the last 3 points I am wondering about.

Many thanks

I am sorry but we are not in a position to give advice regarding the Universal Credit at this time, the best I can suggest is to have a look at thie fact sheet which has a section on Permitted Work

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Thanks - I have seen that they're doing away with Permitted Work under UC. I just wanted to know if I have understood correctly what they're saying.
