Hi Lesley,
I have also applied for this as I have set up in Business and have costs and will have very little income this year as Self employed. I do also have a job under PAYE so pay NIC's anyway. I would of otherwise kept up my NIC payments as this can help towards pensions and unemployment allowances etc if needed in the future.
But you do still need to pay incom tax.
Hope this is helpful.
