Hi there, I am hoping for some guidance please, here are my circumstances. Many thanks in advance. I am self-employed, I run a bricks and mortar retail shop. It is still early days, I am not yet paying myself any salary whatsoever. I have recently split up with my partner and am now responsible for the mortgage and all the bills. As a result I am now claiming Universal Credit (I have been for 2 months), as I receive no salary from my business. I have now taken a part-time waitressing job at a local restaurant. I have given them my details and their accountant has come back with the following question, Can anyone help me answer accurately please? I have tried the Universal Credit helpline who couldn't help me. Which statement applies to me? A – This is my first job since last 6 April and I have not been receiving taxable Jobseekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, taxable Incapacity Benefit, State or Occupational Pension. B – This is now my only job but since 6 April I have had another job, or received taxable Jobseekers Allowance, Employment and Support Allowance, taxable Incapacity Benefit. I do not receive a State or Occupation Pension. C – As well as my new job, I have another job or receive a State or occupational Pension.
