ESA, permitted work and self employment query

Posts: 4 Newbie
Hi everyone!
I'm currently on ESA (wrag) and I'm interested in doing some permitted work.
My advisor told me that there had been changes to the self employed option (26 weeks test trading) and it's a lot harder to get into now. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I'm able to do permitted work while being self employed WITHOUT going down the test trading route? Or is this automatically the program and I can't opt for the 52 weeks without all of the "help" *read - jumping through hoops.*
I have also been applying for jobs but as nothing seems to be coming back exploring all options!
