PAYE

I work for an agency and get paid by an umbrella company and opted to be a pay as you earn Operative, when COVID 19 started I self isolated and asked the agency and umbrella company to furlough me, the both said no, I self isolated for 16 weeks with no money off anyone, I seem to be in no mans land not employed or self employed, even though I paid full tax and double National insurance for two years,
any help on this subject would be greatly appreciated

    Why did you isolate? Did you get a 'shielding' letter?
