Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether people notified to self-isolate by the NHS Test and Trace app are now eligible to receive the Test and Trace Support payment.
As of 10 December, an individual notified to self-isolate by the NHS COVID-19 App because they have recently been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 is able to claim the £500 Test and Trace Support Payment, provided they meet the eligibility criteria.
