Well, as I suspected....those of us who have recently entered self employment are left high and dry.
Only a couple of months trading, so no help. The only option given by the Chancellor (thank you Robert Person for asking him ) is to claim benefits.
Oh deep joy.
I've only done that once in my life and that was decades ago and only for a few months. I remember it being one of the most unpleasant experiences I've ever had.... being treated like scum and as if I was asking for money directly from the purse of the officious twat who handled my claim.
Anyone been down that route recently..? I'd just like to get a feel for what to expect.
