Hello.

There is still a lot information, and confusion, about the coronavirus rules. I am going to keep posting new Easy Read guides on here as soon as they are available.

There is a new Easy Read about how to get financial support if you have been told to self-isolate through the NHS Test and Trace app.

See easy read guide (PDF)

here - mencap.org.uk/sites/default...

This Easy Read has been created by the NHS.

What is the Test and Trace Support Payment Scheme ?

If you live in England and have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace, you may be entitled to a payment of £500 under the Test and Trace Support Payment scheme.

The NHS Test and Trace Support Payment scheme is only for people in England.

Your local authority (council) decides who can gets the money.

The Easy Read guide explains all the steps you need to follow to claim money from the NHS Test and Trace Support Payment scheme.

Coronavirus: Support with money

All information, and Easy Reads, about getting financial support during coronavirus will go on this page on Mencap's website - mencap.org.uk/advice-and-su...

Best wishes

Sarah

I really liked it when, during the coronavirus, the state took such care of its citizens that it issued payments just to support people. Of course, I have enough money, I trade on fxcess.com/markets/forex-sp..., but an extra penny as support-it was very nice. And I recommend a broker!
