Change the 50% of self employment taxable earnings category on SEISS grant
Benefits such as bereavement allowances or cashed in pensions should not disqualify the self employed from the SEISS grant.
We still have to work as we would certainly not be able to survive on this income (benefit/pension) alone so why should we receive nothing??
