Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether it is his policy that severely ill or hospitalised people notified to self-isolate by the NHS Test and Trace for Test have a maximum of 14 days after their period of self-isolation ended to make a claim for the Test and Trace Support Payment.

People can apply for a Test and Trace Support Payment up to  28 days after the first day of their self-isolation period. A third party such as a family member, a friend or neighbour could help a severely ill or hospitalised person to complete the application.
