I have been shielding previous to the beginning of June. I was furloughed but since been signed off by the doctor from June. Will I still qualify to be furloughed under the new rules?

    That's entirely down to your employer. If they chose not to and require you back in work then you'll have to go on SSP.

    Qualifying for it, and getting it, are two very different things.

    They have not updated the rules really on shielding so will have to wait and see.
