Self employed but just started PAYE job alongside, if contract ends can I claim Universal Credit?

textbook

So I've been self employed for years and I heard it's a nightmare to claim UC (get dole or jobseekers or whatever it's called) if you suddenlye  get injured which I have and I can't work as much as before but as I've started a PAYE (sedentary job)on the side,  if that ends in four weeks , I'll have the paperwork to confirm the job's ended, can I then claim the dole or UC  more easily compared to if I was just self employed and suddenly got injured?  I'm doing tiny bits of self employed stuff on the side of PAYE but not like before

I think that any claim may depend on your payments of NI. What class of payments have you been making?

"You may be able to get Universal Credit if you’re on a low income or need help with your living costs. You could be:

out of work

working (including self-employed or part time)

unable to work, for example because of a health condition

To claim you must:

live in the UK

be aged 18 or over (there are some exceptions if you’re 16 to 17)

be under State Pension age

have £16,000 or less in money, savings and investments"

For years self employed NI payments in yearly tax return.  With current possibly short term PAYE job I dunno
