Can I claim if I'm self-employed?

You may be entitled to housing benefit depending upon your income from self-employment.

We will need you to complete the main benefit claim form and also a self-employed questionnaire, which asks further details about your business income and expenses.

We will work out your net weekly income using details from the questionnaire and your accounts.
