Reading now: 1000
Millions of self-employed workers can now apply for grants of up to £7,500 as part of the UK Government’s Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS).
The scheme opened for claims on Wednesday and offers grants worth up to 80 per cent of average trading profits for those stuck at home during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Everyone eligible for the SEISS will be able to receive the grant by May 25, or within six days of a completed claim, the Government has said.
It is the biggest direct financial support package for freelancers and the self-employed since lockdown started, and claims for lost work can be dated back to March.
