I started self employed early january, whilst working a full time PAYE job. I left the PAYE job on feb 28th so coul not be furloughed and it appears i am ineligible for self employed grant. What shall i do ?

Have a look to see what benefits you may be entitled to. Has your self employed work completely dried up? if so might be a good time to look for a temporary job until things pick up again.

Have you asked your old employer to consider  furloughing you given your circumstances. It's not going to cost them anything. They might agree to at least one payment. If you are now on a low income look at Universal Credit.

It does cost the employer to furlough employees.
