answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2020 answer text <p>The Government has committed to an unprecedented package to support individuals through this difficult time. Individuals with disabilities will benefit from the comprehensive level of support to individuals provided during the Covid-19 pandemic. This includes the introduction of the Coronavirus Job Retention and Self-Employment Income Support Schemes, as well as the injection of an additional £8bn into the welfare system according to OBR estimates.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s support package during the current pandemic sits alongside a substantial set of welfare support for disabled individuals. The Government will spend nearly £50 billion this year on benefits to support disabled people and people with health conditions. Personal Independence Payment (PIP) remains the primary means of support to help with some of the extra cost of long-term ill-health or disability, and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) for those who have a disability or health condition that may affect how much they can work.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has implemented a range of measures to make access to disability benefits easier and to protect existing claimants during the current situation. This includes temporarily suspending face to face assessments.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/07/2020 15:58:11 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason he has not amended the Self Employment Income Support Scheme or the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme to introduce temporary support for the self-employed who are employed by a series of short-term PAYE contracts and have not been registered for support through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme by previous employers.

It is not possible to amend this deadline owing to the practical implications of monitoring such an extension, and the risk of fraud that has existed since the scheme became public.</p><p> </p><p>Those who do not qualify for SEISS or CJRS may have to access a range of other support, including income tax deferrals, access to a range of grants and loans, and three-month mortgage holidays.

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of enabling people who are paid annually but whose Real Time Information was submitted after 19 March 2020 for the 2019-20 tax year to access the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.
tabling member constituency	Richmond Park

uin	58044
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>For an employee to be eligible for the CJRS they must have been notified to HMRC on a real-time information (RTI) submission on or before 19 March. Those paid annually are eligible to claim, as long as they meet the relevant conditions including being notified to HMRC on an RTI submission on or before 19 March 2020, which relates to a payment of earnings in the 2019/2020 tax year. Anyone paid annually and notified on an RTI submission after that date will not be eligible for the scheme, which puts them in the same position as those who are paid more frequently and were not notified to HMRC on or before 19 March. The 19 March date allows as many people as possible to be included by going right up to the day before the announcement and mitigates the risk of fraud that existed as soon as the scheme became public.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 57925 58016 question first answered 15/06/2020 14:03:51 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
