Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, from what date parents who have to stay at home as a result of their children being required to self-isolate are able to receive the Test and Trace Support Payment.
Parents and guardians will be able to make an application if their child’s first day of self-isolation is 8 March or later. Applicants in areas that do not have an application process for parents and guardians in place from 8 March will be able to make a backdated application.
