Self employed help

Ion have just been told that we have to apply for help for being self employed as opposed to HMRC contacting us directly mid May. Can anyone clarify this??

    If you haven't filed self assessment returns, you don't need to look at the eligibility criteria, as one of them is that you have to have filed self assessment returns up to 2018/19. 

    "How to claim

    The online service you’ll use to claim is not available yet. HMRC will aim to contact you by mid May 2020 if you’re eligible, to invite you to claim using the GOV.UK online service. Payment will be made by early June 2020 if your claim is approved.

    If you’re unable to claim online an alternative way to claim will be available. We will update this page with more information soon.

    You do not need to contact HMRC now, as this will only delay the urgent work being undertaken to introduce the scheme."
