Being self-employed means that you are not entitled to Statutory Sick Pay (SSP).

In last weeks budget the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that any self-employed person who is affected by Covid-19 or self isolating will be eligable for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) from day one of sickeness, rather than waiting until day 8.

If you are over 25 and eligable ESA is payable at a rate of £73.10 per week.
