Self employed, hard to categorize

I unfortunately fall into the misc bracket. I earn multiple income streams from digital audio and photographic media that sells all over the world. I am unable to get out and take photos/videos for stock due to the restrictions. I also have seen a huge drop in income from my earnings all over the world and will find it difficult to maintain a monthly income. My earnings are mainly in US dollars.

Will I get any help from the government ?

    If your income is low and you have savings of less than £16,000 you may be eligible for universal credit. There are eligibility checkers online.
