Falsley Accused Of Benefit Fraud

  • Clearly not selling?

    Using selling platforms? Having prices? Having the capacity to take payment? Saying 'trying to make money from my music'

    Clearly I'm a 'non techy type' but that sounds like selling to me...

    OP - Ive easily found you on google (forumites its not the USA DJ ) Personally I would change your user name on here to protect your confidentiality.

    Ive looked at the site. Its clear its not 'selling' as such, more like a platform as you describe, but its a little unclear and may have confused the DWP as to what its all about and any revenue streams that can be generated. Its a "modern" thing that some non techy peeps dont fully understand.

    Anyway - good luck with the enterprise :)

    I think that should get an award for today's most patronising post.:D

    OP, when you say it's permitted work do just mean that it fits the rules? Or that you got their permission to do it? Some people don't realise they need to speak to the DWP and get permission for it.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
