Depends. Rishi is refusing to help thousands of employers and small businesses. I know, I’m one of them, and there are going to be a lot of unemployed in the next few months. |
Forgive me if you already know about this and it doesn't apply to you, but I've literally just received an email about the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) today opening for claims, which is apparently weeks ahead of schedule.
Sounds like there are plenty of caveats and I imagine that would rule out many, but wanted to flag it up just in case. The link to check if you're eligible, in case any of our posters haven't seen it, is:

| You know, Hobbes, some days even my lucky rocket ship underpants don't help. |

Thanks but SEISS doesn’t extend to company owners as we are considered employed by our companies. Furlough doesn’t apply because payroll is run annually In April and the chancellor knew that when he specified to furlough you had to be on payroll in February. |  |

No, They won't get a penny Lisa. Some I know, because their wives are working don't qualify for a penny of anything. Another has over £6000 life savings, so he won't get a penny. Another is just living with a partner, and he won't get a penny.
This government have let them down, they would rather these people starve. C@nts. Total c@nts. [Post edited 13 May 2020 22:46]

True. I was told to apply for UC and and although I qualified for approx. £1200 a month they assessed that I was due £0. Without getting too boring - my clients pay up to 90 days in arrears so my company has received payments during a ten week period when it has generated no new income. These payments go on a balance sheet and obviously some of the money has already been spent, some is accounted for in taxes and wages, and some is capital, etc, but UC doesn’t allow you to take in to account expenses and balances from previous periods, and with no real expenses against current payments the balance from the period looks artificially healthy..... the crazy thing is that UC calculates all company income as my personal income and therefore treats me as self employed and refuses me any benefit. The irony of it is that although UC eliminates me by treating me a gainfully self employed the chancellor’s self employment scheme eliminates me be defining me as employed and eliminates me from furlough by frigging the dates. Purely intentional by the government but unless you’re on the wrong end of it you’d be clueless about it. [Post edited 13 May 2020 16:57]

Ah, that makes sense.
I hadn’t picked up on the fact that they haven’t relaxed any of the means testing rules about savings or other household income to qualify for universal credit.
Thanks.
I don’t quite understand why they can’t use bank information to pick up regular monthly income from those who haven’t been in self employment for long enough to have completed a tax return. I know they can’t just allow people to declare they’re self employed when they haven’t been, but in situations like those you mention it should be easy enough to prove their ‘usual’ income? |  | | |

I think its over £16,000 in savings that means you can't claim UC, tell them to get down there.
Edit: sorry that only applies to housing benefit, just looked it up. [Post edited 13 May 2020 18:21]

Amazing generosity from the Conservatives to the working man.But probably still won’t be enough for the parasite lefties.

They seem to think that it's ok for people to starve, seriously. |  |

I think it’s as simple as this. If you have a second home, were there before lockdown started and stayed there, you’re fine. In fact if you were there as lockdown started you’d have been irresponsible to travel back to your main residence.
If you have a second home and travelled there after lockdown started you’ve broken the rules and are probably a bit of a selfish tw@t.

Why should anyone have a second home when others sleep rough...?
Its a simple question with only one answer, it should not be allowed.
