Payments for Copeland residents affected by their child self-isolating
Published: 12/02/2021
PAYMENTS of £500 are available to Copeland residents financially affected by their child self-isolating – and applications are now open.
Copeland Council has a total pot of £91,000 to help low income residents in the borough who cannot work from home, and will lose – or have lost - money as a result of their child having to self-isolate.
Currently, Test and Test Support Payments are only paid to eligible individuals on a low income, who are instructed themselves to self-isolate through the NHS Test and Trace service, as per Government guidance.
