Workers across the United Kingdom will benefit from increased support with a five-month extension of the furlough scheme into Spring 2021, the Chancellor announced on 5 November 2020.
The furlough scheme will now operate until the end of March 2021.
There are also increases in support for people who are self-employed: The next self-employed income support grant will also increase from 55% to 80% of average profits - up to £7,500.
