Include less then 1year self employed workers on COVID-19 Income Support Scheme
Include less then 1 year self employed workers on the Income Support Scheme for Covid-19. I have been working as employed worker in the UK for a continuous 5 years, paid all the taxes,I become self employed worker recently in October 19. Therefore,I am not qualifying for any help in this hard times.
I believe that are several people who are in the same situation as myself in this moment, they are not qualifying for the Income Support Scheme after working in this country for many years as employed workers, recently become self employed workers and now..not getting any help from Government in this period! I feel abandoned and excluded and is such an unpleasant feeling, specially knowing that are so many people in my situation with similar stories! Please help! Include us in the Income Scheme!
