Regulation 77 Calculation of earnings of self-employed earners
(1)
Where a claimant’s income consists of earnings from employment as a self-employed earner, the weekly amount of the claimant’s earnings is to be determined by reference to the claimant’s average weekly earnings from that employment—
(a)
over a period of one year; or
(b)
where the claimant has recently become engaged in that employment or there has been a change which is likely to affect the normal pattern of business, over such other period as may, in any particular case, enable the weekly amount of the claimant’s earnings to be determined more accurately.

For the purposes of this regulation the claimant’s earnings are to be calculated in accordance with regulations 82 to 84.
