Self Employed looking for second job

Hi there,

Sorry if this has been answered somewhere already but I can’t seem to find it if it has been.

My partner is a self employed beauty therapist who is unable to work due to coronavirus restrictions. We are still waiting to hear if she will be eligible for the self employed grant but I’m pretty sure she meets the criteria so fingers crossed. She was looking at employment locally to keep getting some income so my question is, if she was to get a job (for example, at the local shop) would this affect her eligibility for the self-employed grant i.e. might she not get it or might she have to pay it back later in the year if she does get the grant in June.

Any advice would be great thanks.

    No it will not as long as she intends to resume the self employment as soon as circumstances permit.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
