Review Universal Credit rules for self-employed parents and fair reform

Many self-employed parents are disadvantaged under current rules. The Minimum Income Floor often fails to reflect fluctuating income or the true hours worked, while vital unpaid tasks like administration, marketing, and client development are overlooked. The 12-month start-up period can be too short, particularly for those balancing childcare. A full review should identify practical improvements to create a fairer, more realistic system that supports sustainable self-employment.
