Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: If you cannot pay your tax bill on time
section_headers: If you cannot pay because of coronavirus (COVID-19)

without paying a penalty. You can:

delay VAT payments due before 30 June 2020 until 31 March 2021
delay your Self Assessment payment on account due in July 2020 until 31 January 2021

Contact the HMRC coronavirus (COVID-19)

coronavirus.
If you’re self-employed
If you’ve lost income because of coronavirus, you may be able to claim a grant
through the coronavirus (COVID-19) Self-employment Income Support
Scheme when it launches. HMRC will contact you if
you’re eligible.

This is talking about tax deferral and does not talk about the question at hand.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Maintaining education and skills training provision: further education providers
section_headers: Traineeship flexibilities
Impact on benefit claimants for extended programmes
section_content: People receiving benefits do not have to attend Jobcentre appointments for 3
months, starting from Thursday 19 March 2020. People will continue to receive
their benefits as normal, but all requirements to attend the Jobcentre in
person are suspended. People can still make applications for benefits online
if they are eligible. Trainees in receipt of benefits should not attend the
Jobcentre unless directed to do so for an exceptional purpose.
Benefit claimants therefore are eligible to participate in longer spells of
learning in accordance with extending traineeship duration as part of this
guidance - where the learning forms part of their traineeship, and where there
are clear advantages in doing so, in relation to a claimant’s future job
goals.
For more information see employment and benefits
support.

You do not need to attend any Jobcentre Plus appointments or health
assessments in person during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
You should not attend a Jobcentre Plus unless asked to do so for an
exceptional purpose, for example to collect your Payment Exception
Service vouchers.
You must still tell us about changes to your
circumstances.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer that you don't need to attend is in there, but it's a little buried.
This states that job center appointments are on hold during COVID.
