Bring forward the date of the fourth self employment support grant

Petition Details

The government promised that the self employed could access a fourth grant to cover Feb, March and April. This was to to be available from February 2021. It was then moved to early March and now “late” April. This leaves self employed people with an extra three month gap between payments.

Additional Information

This means people will have to stretch three months payments over six months. This will cause financial hardship for thousands of people.
