Unsure of what Furlough Pay I will Receive - Zero Hour Contract Worker

If I received £1000 in April 2019, £800 in May 2019 and say £200 in June 2019. Am I correct in thinking that I will receive £800 (80%) this April, £640 (80%) this May, and because my annual pay is £4800 in the last financial year I would therefore receive £320 (80% of my £400 monthly average as this is higher than 80% of £200). OR would I just receive £320 every month?  Can anyone help?

    I think you are right on your first (higher) calculation, but it's late at night and I invite other posters to tell us if we are wrong.

    1000+800+200 does not equal £4800. Explain!

    Can’t see there is anything that needs explaining, OP presumably earned some other money in the rest of the year.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
