    It will depend on when they believe coronavirus should no longer have an impact.

    The relevant legislation giving the SoS the power to suspend the MIF sets an end date of 13th November. The relevant regulations are in the Social Security (Coronavirus) (Further Measures) Regulations 2020, regulation 2 and 10.
    https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2020/371/contents
    Of course the government can lay further Regulations if they choose to.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
