Ladies I have just had my telephone interview with universal credit. I was given £1200 crisis loan (in my bank immediately) to get me to the first payment date. I now have a second phone interview by the self employed team on Monday. They are paying self employed up to £2900 a month depending on the last years tax return. So in short if your paying your taxes you will be looked after. If you were on a low self employed tax return that will also be looked at and they will make up your payments there to what ever the basic rates of universal credit are. I am a single mum of one child who has been self employed all my life. They told me if the holiday clubs re open before the schools in September they will pay 80 percent of that as well. So ladies don’t delay go to the government web sight and get what your owed then you will not need to work until it’s safe to do so.
So sex workers should get some self employed money depending on earnings declared. So anyone not been declaring will be in the shit but most of us will get some help.
I would like to know too if anyone talking to universal credit are saying that they are sex workers or something else? I have my telephone interview tomorrow and am very nervous
You say whatever you have registered on your tax return whether that be sex worker/ escort/ massage therapist etcNow you cannot even do it by phone all has to be online and some of the waiting time could be 8 hrs to verify the i.d so what happens then if the internet cuts out or the device freezes you lose your place?. What a huge mess.
