Staff taking involuntary financial hit
at 11:42 9 Apr 2020

Family member operates residential care homes. 3 members of staff have received a government letter instructing them to stay away from work for 12 weeks on account of underlying health issues.
These employees are not eligible for government contributions via furloughing, so their only recourse is to go on Universal Credit. Weekly income will drop from a couple of hundred quid a week to 90-odd.
Clearly this is a substantial blow to their pocket but there appears to be no govt guidance for those in this situation. Many others must find themselves similarly disadvantaged.
Anyone on GB in the same boat? We are struggling to find a solution. Many thanks.
