Excluded from all Covid-19 financial support.
Donation protected
On the 23rd of March, I was required to shield due to being clinically extremely vulnerable.
As a self-employed professional I only earn money when I am out of the house working, but I had to shield until the 1st of August - then my GP signed me off as sick through August and September.
I did not qualify for and Covid-19 financial support as I receive a disability benefit which means I was excluded from all UK government support, just like 3 million other tax payers.
After almost six months my savings have run dry and my disability benefits are not covering all of the bills.
I am therefore embarrassed to ask for small donations to help with general living costs until I can return to work in October 2020. Any donations will be gratefully received.
Thank you.
