  Dear parents,

  There is an emergency payment for those eligible for Universal Credit who are facing further immediate, financial hardship due to COVID-19 and have no other assistance available. If you have no income as a result of losing your job or ability to work, you may qualify for a one-off payment.

  The payment is a grant so it does not need to be paid back. It does not replace any other form of support from the Government. Click below for further information.
