Self Employment Grant

cmjd17

I have recently had to stop my self employment work and seek temporary employed work due to my business being affected by the lockdown. I was eligible for the first two grants, will I still be able to get the 3 rd grant even though I have now just started temporary employed work until I can get my self employed work back up and running?

Do you intend to continue to trade?

I don't think the fact that you have taken temporary employment affects your eligibility for the 3rd grant, but whether you intend to keep trading does.

All the information you require is here  - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/self-employment-income-support-scheme-grant-extension/self-employment-income-support-scheme-grant-extension

I'm not sure that you will be able to claim the extension as it's for self-employed people who intend to continue to trade throughout and whose work has been so impacted by coronavirus that their income is either lower than it should be, or non-existent.

Wrong.

The wording from the link is:

"To be eligible for the grant extension self-employed individuals, including members of partnerships, must:

• have been previously eligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme first and second grant (although they do not have to have claimed the previous grants)
• declare that they intend to continue to trade and either:
  • are currently actively trading but are impacted by reduced demand due to coronavirus
  • were previously trading but are temporarily unable to do so due to coronavirus"

justwhat

Reduced demand -  Again sketchy . NOT necessarily turnover or profit related. 
One part of a business may have increased demand other part of business may have reduced demand.
