Self-Employed Types - Anyone Been Invited to Claim Sunak's Fifth Grant Yet?

[Dr Rock]

The invites were supposed to go out middle of July, then late July, now it's August and I've heard nothing. I want my money.

I went through government gateway other day and had a look, and it's going to be end of August. You also have submit your trading turnover for the last year this time

No. I don't think I'd qualify though.

Yeah, my application date was July 29th and I got the money this morning.

You found out when you were going to be allowed to claim? How?

If I go here
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-a-grant-through-the-self-employment-income-support-scheme#how-to-claim

it says

How to claim
You should make your claim on or after the personal claim date HMRC has given you.

Though there's a big 'start here' button and if you click on it it looks like you can start your claim.

I got an email maybe a couple of weeks ago giving the date I could claim from and reminding me to ready my turnover for 2020 blah blah blah

[Dr Rock]

Update - I got bored of waiting for the invite, so made my claim and was told what I'd be getting. I'll let you know if the money appears in my bank or if I get told off for jumping the queue.

[Dr Rock]

I got my cash. If you are tired of waiting for an invite, just steam in, that's my advice.

[idunnosomename]

cheers. I was sure last time I logged in there was a date end of August next to the fifth claim. but now there was a green button so I did it.

well that was a good day's work. back to bed.
