Increase SSP for people in isolation or quarantine due to Coronavirus.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Statutory Sick Pay should be more the £94.25 while the country is being effected by Coronavirus.

If given no choice but to isolate or quarantine the last thing you want is to be worried about paying rent.

Review a more liveable amount.

Things that should be taken into account:
•Rent/Mortgage payments
• Electric bills
• Water bills
• Gas bills
• Council Tax
• Phone and Internet bills
• Tv license
• Food
• medication

All essential things that will still need to be paid. It’s is impossible to do so with £94.25 per a week.
