Extend self-employed income support scheme to the end of October.
Extend self-employed income support scheme to the end of October to coincide with the employed. At the same time the decision was made to extend the furlough scheme, so should have the income support scheme, or at least document a clear reason as to why it wasn't.
Help the self-employed staying at home, and who have a loss of earnings, to afford food, medicines rent/mortgage, pay utilities, and not to go into debt, or worse bankrupcy, causing further issues during the coronavirus epidemic. We are just as vulnerable as the employed at this time and we ask for no more than equality.
