UC SE Conditionality- How much can you earn?

So SE people are not forced to earn 35hrsxNMW but the benefits they get assume they are earning that much OR THEY WILL BE ON CONDITIONALITY!
So they could make 50p per hour profit and continue the business but they will be the same as those on JSA now. They will have to also spend what is it 35hrs looking for extra work? Also have to go to JC and sign on?
This is the big difference though, when these ones go to sign on, they are not saying I did not do any paid work like those on JSA are saying at the moment.
At the moment on JSA its only £5 week they can earn before benefits go down, what about after UC? How much can someone earn before the benfits go down? I expect that is what most self employed businesses will be declaring when they go and sign on.
Also if working 35hrs week but not making much profit so under conditionality and having to sign on etc, will someone be forced to stop their business and go on a work program?
Some Self employed people are genuinly working hard for a few years not making much profit building up their business, if they are allowed to keep trying they may well end up with a successful profitable business but it may take a few years.

The big change will be (when UC replaces everything else) that at the moment JSAers can only work a little and earn £5wk, and after UC they will be able to work more and earn more without afecting their benefits. But they will still have to be on conditionality?
Anyone able to clariy this?0
