Making Universal Credit claim for self employed

[EightNineTen]

I thought I'd better start a claim for this and worked my way through the questions. However, when it came to the end you had to agree that claiming meant you were agreeing to look for work and that you'd be assigned someone to do that. So I stopped. Even if this changes, from what I know about the DWP, I decided it was best to not agree to anything like that!

I wonder if this will change over the next few days as the self employed aspect of it changes.

Any thoughts?

I think you should give them a ring in a few days and ask. Im currently on universal credit and work part time. There was a message sent a few days ago saying everything is being put on hold until further notice but will still get payed as usual so i imagine they will put something in place for the unemployed soon.
