Applications will need to be accepted under the discretionary element of Self-Isolation Support Scheme for people to receive the payment. Temporarily, users will be able to apply for the payment by contacting their local authority. Until the app is updated to verify people who have been asked to self-isolate, users will need to show evidence that the app has asked them to self-isolate in addition to evidence of reduced income when applying. Local authorities will be able to accept and process applications for payments from Friday, February 5 and applicants will be able to apply up to three weeks from their last date of isolation.
