Anyone know about furlough and self-employment?

[FizzyPink]

DP is self-employed with a very small side employed job which probably provides about 20% of his income. He was planning to claim the self employed grant when this becomes available in June but has now been offered furlough by this small job he does a few hours a day normally.
Does anyone know if he accepts the 80% furlough payment whether this will affect his ability to claim the self employed grant? Are you able to do both?

I'm in a similar situation. I work 11.5 hrs a week and am about to be offered furlough by my employer.
The self employed assistance is automatic, based on our tax returns.
So my way of thinking is this.
I am both part time self employed and employed. Therefore a percentage of my earnings come from each of these. And therefore I should enjoy the 'benefits' put in place for both.

I hope I'm not wrong. I did work for HMRC for nearly 20 years, and I'm usually pretty good at making sure I've got this sort of thing right.

That makes sense @FuckThisWind I just can’t find it clarified online and I don’t want him to ask to be furloughed and then miss out on a much bigger payment in June

Your employer will pay you the 80% and then claim the money back through the JRS. I don’t see how their claim for that and your claim under SEISS would interact at all. But SEISS is still not quite up and running yet (another couple of weeks) so might we worth holding off to see if more guidance is released to confirm this. Policy is still probably being written at the moment!

Think MARTIN Lewis said if the se job was more then 50% of earnings then can claim the second help in June

So he should get both
