Self-employed workers who still struggling due to the pandemic can apply for up to £7,500 worth of support from today. The Government's third self-employment income support scheme (SEISS) opens on November 30 - paying £7,500 to those who have been left out of work due to the ongoing crisis.
Under the scheme, sole-traders will get up to 80% of their income subsidised over the November to January period - paid as one single instalment.
SEISS has so far given out two rounds of grants to the self-employed since the pandemic began. Applications for the first grant closed on July 13, 2020 and the second grant, worth up to £6,570, opened for applications on August 17 and closed on October 19, 2020.
