If you’re self-employed and unable to work due to social distancing, then it may be that you need to look at applying for Universal Credit to help with your living costs.
Individuals can apply for Universal Credit via this link, contacting the Universal Credit helpline on 0800 328 5644 or the new Coronavirus and claiming benefits page.
For those who have a disability or health condition that affects how much you can work, then you may be able to claim Employment and Support Allowance, potentially in addition to Universal Credit. Full guidance can be obtained here.
You may be eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, click here for the Government’s guidance on how to claim 80% of your monthly trading profits for three months, up to a maximum of £7,500.
