I believe you may still be entitled to apply for the grant if it was only last month.

Not without proof of having the virus and meeting the other eligibility requirements.

You can spread the virus in the three days before symptoms appear so you would have potentially infected others before you felt ill.

yes - I believe OP had a text to say about having the virus and took time off work sick. 
Obviously other criteria has to be met to receive the grant but they can still apply for it if it was as recently as last month.

He  was told it was negative and then told he MAY have had it. SO no notice from test and trace to self isolate which is one of the requirement to apply for the grant.

OP was still being paid by their employer.

So at the end of last month I felt unwell so did a lateral flow test.  I got the dreaded two stripes so followed the advice to get a PCR.  I booked myself in at my local drive through and got tested.  A day later I received the text to say everything was negative.  Then I saw last week on the news that a testing branch out of Wolverhampton University and run by Immensa Health Clinic Ltd were giving out negative results by mistake.  Myself and my partner then both received texts (she took a PCR also as a precaution as was also unwell) to say in brief sorry you may have had it but as its now over 10 days dont worry about it.  Well I do worry about it because I could have been spreading it to people unknowingly and that concerns me a great deal.  It also means the time I took off work as a result of being ill would have meant I qualified for a local grant in my area.  All in I think the government has totally swept this under the carpet in the hope that people dont care about it and forget about it.  Well I cant forget about it and it worries me a lot that I may have infected others.  Has anyone else been affected by this?
 

It's not sweeping it under the rug, it's taking the sensible view that there is nothing that can now be done about it.  The samples will have been destroyed so no one can be retested and if anyone has unwittingly spread it, well the damage is already done.

Unless of course this is more about the £500 support payment...

This isnt about the payment because I still got paid by my employer.

Thank you for CARING - I wish EVERYBODY did then we would be in less of a mess than we already are

They really did balls up and it IS peoples lives we are talking about here but I wish the GOVERNMENT cared yet is has all been a shambolic MESS that we are still in

The lft's are turning out to be more accurate than sending off for a PCR test , they 'lost' a load of them too recently so now they are telling everyone to isolate for 10 days 'anyway' and as a precaution

It's on the LIST of balls ups but you did what you COULD and you are not the one who needs to feel ANY shame , not you for sure but the 'unaccountable' elite
