answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>The Government has announced a wide-ranging package of measures to support employees affected by Covid-19.</p><p>Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) will now be available for individuals diagnosed with Covid-19 or those who are unable to work because they are self-isolating in line with government guidance. This is in addition to the change announced by the Prime Minister that SSP will be payable from day one instead of day four for affected individuals.</p><p>Those who are not eligible for SSP can now more easily make a claim for Universal Credit or Contributory Employment and Support Allowance:</p><p>· For the duration of the outbreak, the requirements of the Universal Credit Minimum Income Floor will be temporarily relaxed for those who have Covid-19 or are self-isolating, ensuring self-employed claimants will receive support. ·</p><p>- People will be able to claim Universal Credit and access advance payments upfront without the current requirement to attend a jobcentre if they are advised to self-isolate.</p><p>- Contributory Employment and Support Allowance will be payable, at a rate of £73.10 a week for those over 25, for eligible people affected by COVID-19 or self-isolating in line with advice from day one of sickness, rather than day eight.</p><p> </p><p>From Friday 20 March onwards, those who are advised to self-isolate will be able to obtain an “isolation note” by contacting NHS 111 , rather than by visiting a doctor.</p><p> </p><p>The Budget also announced a £500 million Hardship Fund to help Local Authorities to support economically vulnerable people and households.</p><p>Banks and building societies are also ready and able to support consumers affected by Covid-19. On 17 March, the Chancellor announced on behalf of the sector that banks and building societies will offer a 3-month ‘mortgage holiday’ for borrowers that are financially struggling with their repayments. This forbearance measure will enable affected borrowers to defer their mortgage payments for up to three months while they get back on their feet. Customers who are concerned about the current financial situation should get in touch with their lender at the earliest possible opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/03/2020 16:52:41 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

uin	23551
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2020 answer text <p>It is not possible to make an assessment with the information available. Assessing the total cost to the Exchequer is highly dependent on the individual’s circumstances. If a parent in a single-parent household left paid employment and accessed benefits to look after their children, under Universal Credit their total claim would be dependent on the claimant’s age, where they live and their housing tenure type, how many children are in the household and whether they or any of their children have a disability. Depending on the level of previous earnings, it may be the case that the person would also be eligible to Universal Credit whilst they were in work.</p><p> </p><p>The overall public spending impact will also include lost Exchequer revenues from any taxation paid (such as National Insurance and Income Tax) which is again is dependent on the level of previous earnings, and other circumstances determining their National Insurance category.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay question first answered 05/03/2020 14:51:24 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
