are UC questions covered in this forum, I am about to transition(July) from WTC and I am currently on sick leave from my employer, I am also thinking about going self employed and don't know if I should wait for the transition to happen and the claim is set up or start my self employment before then
There are online calculators that will show your wtc entitlement if self employed. www.turn2us.org.uk/get-support/informati...f-i-am-self-employed If this works out more than your future UC estimate then you will get transitional protection for 12 months. If it is less then you will be claiming UC anyway as with migration you don't have a choice to stay on the old benefits. If your personal circumstances are more complex you could phone Citizens Advice Help to Claim for advice.
