SEISS has provided millions of self-employed workers with support throughout the pandemic but due to stringent eligibility rules, millions of workers found themselves ineligible for the grants. Rishi Sunak faced multiple calls to remedy this and in the 2021 Budget, the Chancellor addressed the problems to a certain extent.
RISHI SUNAK was taken to court in recent weeks over SEISS eligibility problems. The charity Pregnant Then Screwed took the Chancellor to court in late January for discriminating against women in regards to SEISS claiming rules and today the verdict has been released.
