SEISS 3rd Grant

Superclean2020

Hi All, 

I'm still wondering if I should/can claim. I was eligible for the 1st and 2nd and applied for both.
Obviously this one has slightly more to think about. My situation is as follows 

I've had several clients cancel work (some regular clients for many years) and 3 wanted to commence either in November or December. I've worked out that my projected income at the moment is down about 30% from what I was hoping to earn in November and December. I've kept emails from all those who've cancelled,  and all the reasons given are due to either their own financial issues  or covid related etc.
I'm fairly confident that that makes me eligible but should I look back at last years Nov,dec, and jan?
The reason I ask is  because believe it or not,  due to illness I actually have profits  that are roughly the same for the same period as last year, is this relevant?  Or should I purely base my application on what I was expecting to earn for this period?  Sorry if it sounds confusing. Look forward to getting some advice

The assessment of less demand, capacity or activity has to be in the period November to January and is lower trade because of coronavirus than you would have had this period November to January without coronavirus.  Last year is irrelevent.

The assessment of whether the profits have been significantly impacted is for the full accounting year and includes the value of the previous SIESS grants.

As I thought, like most, my whole year looks disappointing profit wise, so I'll make a claim. Many thanks
