Working Tax Credit and working hours ploys

I am no expert on Working Tax Credit (WTC), and I know that many who were on Incapacity Benefit and even Disability Living Allowance have been pronounced “fit to work”, some say unfairly, in the last two or three years.
Word on the street is that you can get your sixteen or thirty hours work to be entitled to WTC by being self-employed selling through Kleeneze catalogues, or maybe selling lottery tickets for charities. How you can prove your working hours from that, I don’t know, but maybe neither HMRC nor DWP care.

Are my sources correct? Have you heard anything about this? Does it matter?
