Do not go back ask your employer to put you on furlough and the government will pay you up to 80% of your earnings up to a maximum of £2,500.00 a month. If your mum has her letter from NHS it is all the proof your employer and the Government need to pay you this find advice on Gov.co coronavirus

Hope this helps let me know please DO NOT GO BACK TO WORK YOU MUST SELF ISOLATE AS IF YOU WERE YOUR MUM because of her condition don`t let your boss tell you any different

My husband has stayed off work with me because I got the shielding letter to say stay in for 12 weeks , unless your company has shut down you can not get furloughed and you both have to self isolate in the same house , my husband won’t go to work in case he gets it’s so will have to take unpaid leave for how ever long it takes as he is classed as essential worker ,so it doesn’t always work out .
