It is not clear what you are actually asking.

The government has said it will not consider 2019/20 because the SEISS was announced before that tax year ended, and therefore the results could be manipulated. You need to consider universal credit, although if you are already claiming tax credits, be aware a claim for universal credit would stop your tax credits forever.

Have you submitted your 2019/20 tax return to get your refund, if one is due? There should be more work around for you now.

In same boat myself mate, needing to travel in and out of London on a weekly basis wasnt practical, left work in March not had a bean if support even though I enrolled on a government backed CIS scheme. Self assessment returned awaiting rebate, so my self assessment based on CIS is good enough for a rebate but not good enough for assistance. Not happy

I can see why, it'd be open to far too much abuse.
It's one thing getting a rebate by twiddling the numbers, but the potential for fraud is massive when you just have to skew the numbers slightly to get £10,000 or more in cash. 

Sorry, but the Gov are right on this one. For the record I am also self employed, and I am entitled to zero help.
