I've been asked to send this info in for my Housing Benefit Assessment.

Breakdown of GROSS Self employed Earnings & Work Related Expenses and itemized work From Jan-June 2012.


I'm Self Employed and i need to send this info asap to get re-assessed.
The thing is, i'm not sure what exactly i should send them.
I've already sent my Business Bank Statements, Profit & Loss Accounts up until April 5th 2012 and my Tax return.

Do i send Paypal print outs, Sales Invoices, postal receipts....the lot?
What do they mean by breakdown of itemized work? (I sell Vintage Jewellery on ASOS Marketplace by the way).

I'm stumped tbh..... Help! :o

  • When we needed to claim housing benefit and prove self employed income, the council gave us a 4 page form to fill in which had separate boxes for different categories, e.g. materials and goods used, insurance costs, petrol, vehicle costs (finance, mot, servicing), gas & electric, etc.
    It made it easier for them and us knowing what they required - they also wanted to know what % was business and personal.
    Give them a call and see if they have a similar form.
