When the scheme was launched, the newly self-employed couldn’t qualify because they hadn’t all filed the 2019-20 tax return.

It is expected that more that 600,000 more people will be eligible to apply for SEISS grants than previously.
Please Note: If you make a claim, you must process the claim yourself- your agent or accountant can not process the claim on your behalf.
