mirror.co.uk:

Millions of self-employed people who have been affected by the coronavirus crisis can now apply for a second support grant from the government.

The new Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) will pay up to £6,750, and will mark the final hand-out for those whose business has been put at risk due to the outbreak.

The taxable payout will be worth 70% of average monthly trading profits which will be paid out in a single instalment covering three months of income.

Businesses that have traded for all three years with profits no more than £50,000 are eligible for the scheme. Around 39,000 have already made claims for the support, after it opened at 8am on Monday morning.
