Self-Isolation Payment Scheme

Following the recent government announcement, the self-isolation payment scheme will be extended to include parents or guardians who lose earned income because they are looking after a child that has been told to self-isolate on or after 8 March 2021.You will be able to make a claim under this new criteria once our systems and claim forms have been updated (by 7 April 2021 at the latest). You will also be able to make a backdated claim (now 42 days from the date of isolation).
