I'm am employed 3 days. 23.5 hours.
I would like to start some self employed work on other days.

Has anyone done this while claiming universal credit?
If i earn more via employment what happens long term?
At what point would I be gainfully self employed?

What did you decide to do OP. I’m thinking of doing some self employed work in addition to my regular job, but expect I would still qualify for some UC
