Then told that I can't get anything of the publicised help with loss of earnings for Covid 19 that the government have promised self employed people that we've waitied two months to be able to find out about. Zero, nothing, zilch! I wonder how many other people are in the same position. My brother is too.

My son received a cheque for about 5 grand at the beginning of the month. It seems all his mates got them as well. The system worked for them. It seems it is all about your declared earnings within your last few tax returns that then decides how much you are entitled to.
