Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what estimate he has made of the proportion of people in work who will be eligible for the self-isolation support payment.
This question was answered on 15th January 2021
The Test and Trace Support Payment is designed to provide financial support to individuals who have been asked to self-isolate and who, if unable to work from home, would lose income and suffer financial hardship as a result. Over four million people could be eligible for the Test and Trace Support Payment if they are told to self-isolate and will lose income as a result, because they cannot work from home.
