From 7 December 2020 parents or primary carers of children who are required to isolate are eligible to apply for a Covid-19 Self-Isolation Support Grant. If you are in receipt of low-income benefits and will lose income as a result of being required to self-isolate to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and you have been asked by NHS Test and Protect Service to self-isolate either because you have tested positive for Covid-19 or you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive, you may be entitled to a £500 Self-Isolation Support Grant.
Please contact the Welfare Support Team on 0800 090 1004 or email welfare.support@highland.gov.uk to apply.
