Retired, Universal Credit

I would question the expenses amounts being entered, if they happen to fall within a monthly assessment period. Are expenses being entered that relate to an ongoing interest, rather than a type of employment ?  Is the website purely about obtaining self-employed work ?  The expenses have to solely relate to obtaining the self-employment income.

As others have stated, this does not appear to be work that is really to earn money to pay household bills, if genuine expenses actually mean a loss is experienced.

That's right, my legally allowable expenses deducted from my income/turnover equals net profit or loss.  At the moment it would be a loss.  My question was could that loss be deducted from my state pension when calculating my UC assessment.  By the looks of it ... no!

You are correct, no they can't.
