Self employed income support scheme

Wondering in light of being told that beauty industry can't reopen until beg of July if the SEISS will be extended beyond end of May? Know the furlough scheme is currently until the end of June, with a possible extension. Thank you

    I have received my letter today from HMRC and I am eligible to apply for the Self Employment income support scheme from Weds which will really help my family.  My question is can I still apply as my wife works and is still receiving full pay?  I have read that if she works I am not eligible and I don't want this to affect my claim.   Many thanks.

    If you have received a letter from HMRC inviting you to apply why don't you just follow their instructions?

    Where have you read that if she works you are not eligible for SEISS??

    I wonder whether you are confusing SEISS with universal credit? Your wife's income has no impact on your SEISS claim.
