Meanwhile, Salford City Council has launched its Test and Trace Support Payment, as announced by the Government this week, for which eligible people can apply for £500 on top of any benefits or sick pay.
It is for anyone who has been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace from 28th September, either because they have the virus or have been in contact with someone with the virus. Other criteria are that people have to be employed or self-employed; that they are unable to work from home; that they will lose income during the self-isolation period and that they are currently in receipt of benefits including Universal Credit, Income Support, Housing Benefit and Working Tax Credit.
Those not eligible include people who are in quarantine after a holiday (unless tested positive), those who continue to be paid on full wages during isolation or who can work from home.
