Hi all I have various health issues which from time to time I end up house bound. I have been treated extremely badly by dwp in past and it took my local MP to fix 2 months of no money. I'm desperate to try out a business idea, but looking at Enterprise allowance and Access to work guidlines both offer nothing and 10% loan and no money risk is too great. So I have decided to go it alone and can prove expenditure and fact I haven't made a penny yet, my market is importing an electronics item and selling it. It's a shame the Job Centre/dwp are not supportive, but I can't face more hassle on something that until I try may not be viable and being treated like scum for considering it. I also find it tragic that due to verified ill health any official assistance is vindictive and your seen as liar for simply wanting to better yourself. I'm too old for princess trust and I do not see any value in enterprise allowance scheme-it looks like I have little choice in discussion or advice other than this forum unless anyone else has ideas.
