Foster carer claiming benefits
Comments

Benefit calculators do include questions about self employed income. For the entitled to one they also ask if you maybe entitled to the SEISS grant. There's also a question asking if you claim fostering allowance.

Just been through the benefit calculators recommended by Gov.uk and things have definitely changed a lot since I last used them a couple of years ago. They all have a place to put self employed earnings now. So my mistake and sorry for any confusion caused.whizzywoo said:If OP is talking about the various Benefits Calculators then no they don't usually have a box to put self employed earnings in. Or they never did when I used to use them for myself. I used to estimate how much my self employed profit would be and then "pretend" it was wages under PAYE. You need to be careful though because not all taxable expenses are allowable for some benefits."All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well."
