Individuals can claim for a Test and Trace Support Payment up to 14 days after their period of self-isolation ends.

We are working closely with all 314 lower tier and unitary local authorities to collate information on how the Test and Trace Support Payment scheme is progressing and will release information on the number of applications, number of successful applications and amounts paid out in due course.
