section_content: Get other financial support
You can make a claim for Universal Credit while you wait for the grant. The grant may
affect the amount of Universal Credit you get, but will not affect claims for
earlier periods.
The government is also providing the following help for the self-employed:

deferral of Self Assessment Income Tax and VAT payments
grants for businesses that pay little or no business rates
Business Interruption Loan Scheme
Bounce Back Loan

If you have other employment as a director or employee paid through PAYE your
employer may be able to get support using the Coronavirus Job Retention
Scheme.
Get help online
You can watch videos and register for free
webinars to learn more about the support available to
help you deal with the economic impacts of coronavirus.
Use HMRC’s digital assistant to find more
information about the coronavirus support schemes.
Contacting HMRC
We are receiving very high numbers of calls. Contacting HMRC unnecessarily
puts our essential public services at risk during these challenging times.
But you can contact HMRC if you cannot get the help you need online.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is bad because it talks more about universal credit than it does about the financial grant. Therefore, this answer doesn’t satisfy the question.
While the response has a lot of information about available support it doesn't state how you would know if you are eligible. There are several included links though so by using those you could probably find out if you qualify.

page_title: Guidance Check if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme
section_headers: How to claim
section_content: The online service is now available. Make your
claim from the date we gave you.
If you’re unable to claim online you should contact HMRC for help.
If you receive texts, calls or emails claiming to be from HMRC, offering
financial help or a tax refund and asking you to click on a link or to give
personal information, it is a scam. You should email it to
phishing@hmrc.gov.uk and then delete it.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response includes a link to apply for the assistance which is helpful but it does not answer the initial question of how to know if you are eligible.
This is a bad answer because it doesn’t list anything at all about how to apply for a grant, or how to become eligible. Therefore, it doesn’t answer the question.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Check if you can claim a grant through the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme
section_headers: Who can claim
section_content: You can claim if you’re a self-employed individual or a member of a
partnership and all of the following apply:

you traded in the tax year 2018 to 2019 and submitted your Self Assessment tax return on or before 23 April 2020 for that year
you traded in the tax year 2019 to 2020
you intend to continue to trade in the tax year 2020 to 2021
you carry on a trade which has been adversely affected by coronavirus

Your business could be adversely affected by coronavirus if, for example:

you’re unable to work because you: 
are shielding
are self-isolating
are on sick leave because of coronavirus
have caring responsibilities because of coronavirus


you’ve had to scale down or temporarily stop trading because: 
your supply chain has been interrupted
you have fewer or no customers or clients
your staff are unable to come in to work



You should not claim the grant if you’re a limited company or operating a
trade through a trust.
To work out your eligibility we will first look at your 2018 to 2019 Self
Assessment tax return. Your trading profits must be no more than £50,000 and
at least equal to your non-trading income.
If you’re not eligible based on the 2018 to 2019 Self Assessment tax return,
we will then look at the tax years 2016 to 2017, 2017 to 2018, and 2018 to
2019.
Find out how we will work out your
eligibility including if we
have to use other years.
Grants under the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme are not counted as
‘access to public funds’, and you can claim the grant on all categories of
work visa.
You must make the claim yourself. Your tax agent or adviser must not claim on
your behalf as this will trigger a fraud alert, and you will have to contact
HMRC. This will cause a significant delay to you receiving your payment.
How different circumstances affect the scheme
Check if your circumstances affect your
eligibility for the following:

if your return is late, amended or under enquiry
if you’re a member of a partnership
if you’re on or took parental leave
if you have loans covered by the loan charge
if you claim averaging relief
if you’re non-resident or chose the remittance basis
state aid


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The response is very detailed and specific. The bullet lists and included links would be very useful in finding out if you qualify.
This is an excellent answer because it lists out all of the requirements in order to apply for a financial grant, which answers the question.
