Hi all
Is there anybody who qualifies for the second self employed grant and claiming it?
The first one for me was a no brainier, i was quarantined for two weeks before lockdown, then staight after we was locked down my work was basically nothing so i claimed this first grant
The second one apparently becomes available in august if your business is still 'adversely effected' from mid july
I am working fairly reguarly now, mostly half days but as most of my work is domestic nowadays people still dont really want you in their house unless urgent
As i see it
I would say if this carries on in july/august then i should be ok to claim the second grant, but i dont want to get fined by HMRC later on because im working and sometimes busy at the moment
It does say im allowed to work though but to what extent, i cant really find any clarity on this
And do i need evidence to show how im effected if i get any enquiry
In this case would you feel happy about claiming the grant, i think i should be
What are you guys doing?

As i see it
- Im probably only back up to 60-70% usual busy on a good week, less mostly
- I have a few big extension jobs now that are effectively frozen and i cannot finish due to builders being unable to get plaster
- I am having to now buy gloves/ sanitizer and masks as ppe to work inside houses when possible urgent
