Self-employed optometrist with no income due to COVID-19. Missed out on the SEISS grant by being just £500 over the unjust £50k cliff edge!

Thanks to ExcludedUK Official for your time this morning. You are completely right to be campaigning on the gaping holes in the current schemes and the need for government to listen and take action. Look forward to continuing to work with you to address these injustices.

151 MPs for the #ExcludedUK APPG - it's tempting to say the fight is just beginning but the truth is people have been fighting just to be heard since March. 👏 Roll on tomorrow - the second part of the meeting will be live-streamed through my Facebook facebook.com/Jamie4North/

Very odd to have been excluded from any #selfemployed #seiss assistance from Rishi Sunak for #Covid19UK having paid my taxes and will reportedly pay more due to the Government's generous help during this period. Makes no sense This is Money Martin Lewis thisismoney.co.uk/money/smallbus…

A message of thanks to all of the excluded people who got us to 200 members of the #ExcludedUK APPG I know today was just the latest disappointment in a long string of them but don't lose hope. Thank you all.

I’m talking about #excludeduk on Broadcasting House BBC Radio 4 Sunday morning sometime between 0900 and 1000 with the lovely Paddy O'Connell. A scandal we have not talked about enough. And sadly which may not be put right. Yet small biz are supposed to be there to revive the economy!

In despair that I will have to take on debt just to pay my HM Revenue & Customs tax bill as I’ve had to use the money to live off and feed a family. Penalised by Rishi Sunak for earning just £500 over the SEISS profit cap! How is this remotely just? Left alone with the rest of ExcludedUK Official

The support of 248 MP's (so far) demonstrates we #ExcludedUK do not deserve to be collateral damage, we deserve #paritynotcharity - we paid into the tax pot for years (myself 25yrs), I should be included in any help shared out from the pot, to an equal extent!

Mel Stride HM Treasury has Rishi Sunak confirmed the median trading profits of those excluded from SEISS by virtue of the £50k cliffedge yet? He undertook to provide the data. Surely it is readily to hand given the confirmation that it is a conscious policy decision? #excludeduk

Still waiting since 15 July for Rishi Sunak to confirm the median point for trading profits of those excluded from SEISS above the £50k cliff edge. Why is the information not being released? Who is asking? Mel Stride Alison Thewliss Anneliese Dodds HM Treasury #ExcludedUK

The SEISS eligibility needs to be reviewed too Rishi Sunak. Profits of 50k in 19/20 are long spent after the length of the restrictions in 20/21. #Lockdown2 #lockdownUK ExcludedUK Official Martin Lewis

TSC Report 3 stated: "Self-employed with annual profits over £50,000 are still unable to access support due to the £50k 'cap'. We repeat our call for the cap to be removed & heard evidence that a "tapered" approach to support could be fairer." Being #ExcludedUK is wholly unfair!
