Petition Action

Increase SSP for people in isolation or quarantine due to Coronavirus.

Petition Details

Statutory Sick Pay should be more the £94.25 while the country is being effected by Coronavirus.

If given no choice but to isolate or quarantine the last thing you want is to be worried about paying rent.

Additional Information

Review a more liveable amount.

Things that should be taken into account:
•Rent/Mortgage payments
• Electric bills
• Water bills
• Gas bills
• Council Tax
• Phone and Internet bills
• Tv license
• Food
• medication

All essential things that will still need to be paid. It’s is impossible to do so with £94.25 per a week.
