Self employed with no income

PaddyThai · 2009-11-17 22:23:24

I understand that when a self employed person or someone who had their own business goes belly up there is no welfare support available. Anyone know what, if anything, is available to someone who used to employ people but is now looking at a bleak future with possibly no income.

Thats a myth, everyone's eligible to apply for jobseekers allowance, it's means tested so depends on what yours means are,savings,what your partner earns or your parents if you live with them and are under 25 etc.Everyone's treated the same, those whose stamps have run out, those who've never worked and the self employed.
