Self isolation with heart failure but would need financial help to enable me to do this but don't know where to begin?

[tandycute]

I work 10 hours a week . I know i need to self isolate but due to a low income i won't qualify for sickness benefit as i don't earn enough to apply. i'm wondering if there is any advice as to what if any benefits i would be entitled to?

I need money coming in to cover my bills but i don't have a clue where to go??

Thank you for taking the time to read my post

I hope you find an answer quickly. The only thing I can think of is Citizens Advice Bureau. Contact your MP. Charities and church groups? What area of the country are you in? Best wishes

Iv'e left a message with Citizens Advice as been trying to contact them all day, which is understandable

I'm in the South Yorks area

what does the official government website say in respect of getting the funds needed to undertake the act of self isolation?

Haven't looked yet as it doesnt apply to me, but i might do in the future

Just says apply for sickness benefit but i don't earn enough to be entitled to it, the mind boggles...Thanksthough

a bit like telling people ot apply for universal credit, even though you have to wait for 5 weeks to get any money. Lots of rhetoric by this government without enough thought of how they're going to actually ' do any of this stuff'.

Definitely worth dropping a line to your MP and let them explain how to square the circle...

Go o line to Citizens Advice.co.uk this is their public website with lots of information on re Coronavirus and benefits and work

You can also go on Gov.Uk they also have lot of information

Gov.uk says i earn too much to claim sickness benefit yet i'm on minimum wage so iv'e no idea how i'm supposed to self isolate!!
