I know a lot of people on here have been continuing to pay cleaners etc in the lockdown and I wondered whether anyone knew how that affects the help that the govt have offered for self-employed people?
We have a cleaner twice a month and I paid her in full when she was last due to come as at that stage things were all very unclear. She would normally be due again tomorrow (though obviously not coming). DH is adamant that we shouldn't pay her as that is what the Govt help is for, so either she will get paid 180% or she won't be able to claim as much as she won't have made a loss. Is he right? Of course I am also worried about the fact that she won't get any money from the Govt for 2 months and might well need us to pay now anyway.
NB I have looked at lots of previous threads on cleaners and coronavirus and can't find an answer to this.
