Universal Credit - 2/3rd disregard on earnings for lone parent childminders

[MaddyD1234]

Hi, I just wondered if anyone knew if the current 2/3rd disregard for lone parent childminders would also apply when Universal Credit is applied in your area? I can't seem to find anything about it anywhere (but maybe I'm not looking in the right places!!). Any info or help would be very much appreciated. TIA

I hope not, why should they be? No other self employed person can disregard 2/3rds of their income for benefit purposes.

All self employed people after the first x months of being so will be expected to make at least NMW per hour and will be treated as such if they don't.

Hmmm, I was hoping for something more constructive and less bitter - never mind!

This seems step by step, might help, written in English lay not alien.
