New Enterprise Scheme and Universal Credit

The request was partially successful.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

Please could you send me confirmation and specific policy information about the New Enterprise Scheme and Universal Credit. In the form of guidelines or policy.

So that if someone applies for and is accepted into the New Enterprise Scheme, that they will still receive the monthly allowance £409 in addition to the New Enterprise Scheme allowance that is provided, when seeking a job, until the new self employment is profitable.

Yours faithfully,
Sarah Phoenix
