Self employment performance figures

The recent publication of performance figures for New Deal did not include performance for Self Employment. To rectify that, here are the figures up to the end of March 2009.

Flexible New Deal Self Employed

Hello Everyone,

I have a few questions about the Flexible new Deal Self Employed Scheme if
anyone can help:

Will the scheme work in a similar way to the New Deal Self Employed, where
a participant will be able to 'test trade' for 6 months whilst still retaining full benefits?

Will those benefits include any housing benefit or Mortgage Interest Payments?

Is this Scheme in Operation now?

Thanks in advance

Richard
