I’m so worried about all this, please can someone advise me? I’m on Income related ESA and I can’t work. I have an online Etsy store which I sell on but not much. And yes I have registered with HMRC!

I am not gainfully employed because it’s not my main source of income. - benefits are and I don’t get regularly work. Is that correct?

For the interview I have next week it asks me to take the following

  • invoices
  • receipts
  • bank statements
  • tax returns
  • records of customers, suppliers or contracts

Well I don’t have most of that info, only what I can’t get of Etsy. What do I do and do I just print out any info I have?
Also are they going to force me to work? I
haven’t worked as I am unable to for 7 years so I’m worried they will try to.

Thanks.
