income support training and self employment

Hi All

Hope you can assist.
I am claiming income support currently whilst I train to be a financial advisor.
I work less than 15 hours per day but have 2 income streams.
I submit my profit and loss to the income support people (combining both incomes and expenditure together on the profit and loss statement) when they request them, approx every 6 months.
I have earned less than £80 pounds per month ( as shown on my profit and loss) which i am advised by IS is within the rules. However
I am now getting money from insurance business which is subject to immediate claw backs. So as an example if i obtain eg £2000 today i could be asked to pay the whole amount back next month. Not sure how to deal with this as they can claw back up to 4 years ahead.
Can anyone advise please ?
