Ending self employment, get PIP and Carers. Will I be penalised?
Hi I need some help, even directing to the right place.
I am self employed and receive PIP (I work in a shop with my mam who is also my carer - gets CA for me).
Also have two disabled children 17 and 13 receiving PIP and DLA (I claim CA for eldest).
I moved onto UC from Tax Credits summer 2024 and receive transitional payment.
Mam has said she wants to retire and close the shop/business.
Will I lose my transitional payment if I don't have a job anymore? I dont have minimum income floor because I get carers allowance.
They did a LCWRA for me and said I can work (despite enhanced PIP mobility and daily living but they said that didn't count for anything).
Question - will I be penalised if I can no longer be self employed if my mam retired?
I hope I've covered my circumstances. I don't want to ring uc and ask in case they change things.

As a carer you have no work commitments. So no consequences if you stop being self employed.
