Incapacity benefit and starting a business?

[spod]

Does anyone know what happens to your incapacity benefit if you try to start up a business... am thinking about doing this but it would only be part-time work, and it may not be succesful...! Do they allow you some time to set up and earn before stopping your benefit?

i know that you can start work whilst getting incap if your doc says its theraputic, whatever that includes i don't know, what sort of bussiness are you looking at, can you prove that you can fit it around your illness/disability cos that may work ok
