Universal credit transitional element and change of circumstances

thunderandlightenup

Hi, I’m looking to go self-employed soon and wondering if this will end my transitional element I got for migrating from tax credits. Is this classed as a significant change of circumstances in regards to the transitional element rules? All I can find is that significant changes include, moving in/out with a partner, earnings dropping below AET threshold for 3 assessment periods in a row, having earnings too high that claim ends or any other reasons that end the claim. But none of these seem to suggest that simply becoming self-employed will end the transitional element. I will continue to be employed alongside my self-employment and will continue earning above the AET in my employed job so it won’t be affected by my earnings dropping.

I also have a child with severe autism and I am classed as her carer although I earn too much to get carers allowance, I get the carers element added to UC. I believe I will not be classed as gainfully self-employed for that reason so what would I be expected to do in regards to appointments at the job centre etc. Will I need to go in initially for an interview? Would I be expected to have regular meetings to discuss my self-employment? Or would these not apply because I can’t be classed as gainfully self-employed and won’t be subject to the minimum income floor? Thanks in advance.
