Thank you.

I received an email today, being informed that I will receive £500 for catching COVID-19 and having to self-isolate for 10 days, so that has made me happy.

£500!? Is that sick pay or?
Paid by the government, for catching COVID-19 and self-isolating.

Is this a scheme or something? It's the first I've heard of people being paid for isolating? Is it to cover lost income or?

Quote:Is it to cover lost income or?
Exactly.

In my locality, If you've lost Income due to Isolation/quarantine or even taking a day off work to get tested, you're compensated - no questions asked.

You are eligible for it if you are employed or self-employed but on a low income.

I am not quite sure how low they consider a low income though, as I am on triple the annual minimum wage and they accepted my application for it.

Ohh so it's a means tested thing. I've been very lucky to not need it thus far. Thank you for sharing though! It's good to know.
