Abygail Tustin, 28, from Potters Bar has explained the impact which being furloughed from her job had on her mental health.
The first lockdown in March threw my employment into confusion. I had the misfortune of changing jobs two weeks before lockdown, moving from a garden centre café in Crews Hill to another similar position at the Dutch Nursery in Brookmans Park.
This left me without any income from mid-March. I could not be furloughed by my new employer and was refused furlough by my old employer, although under the Treasury s rules I could be temporarily rehired and placed on the scheme.
