Provide COVID19 income support for the newly self-employed. (2019/2020)

Petition Details

we request COVID19 income support from the government, for the recently self-employed (subject to them submitting a tax return for 2019-2020).

Additional Information

This hard-working group should not be punished because they have made a decision to start working for themselves at the wrong time. All we ask is an opportunity for us to apply so we can also get some help.

Ireland was able to help the newly self-employed yet England has decided not to do so, we need some answers as this is very unfair as we are registered self-employed individuals that are just asking for help just like the others that's been receiving help since the first lockdown.
