Decision Makers Guide - DMG36402

Particular kinds of self-employment: People providing board and lodging


The test to apply is whether the gross income from board and lodging forms a major part of the total of the applicant's weekly income. The total weekly income means the total of
1) the gross receipts from board and lodging and
2) all other forms of income of the whole WFTC / DPTC family after

2.1) calculations under DMG22001 or DMG33201 have been made and
2.2) any disregards applied.

The decision maker should then consider the size of the amount at 1. in comparison to the total of 1. and 2.. If the income at 1. is a major part of the total weekly income, as calculated above, the decision maker should treat the income from board and lodging as self-employed earnings.
