Those who are Self Employed should be given their 4th grant ASAP.

What the petition asks

Those who are Self-Empolyed should be given their 4th Self Employed Income Support Scheme ASAP.
Our third grant was given to cover us during the months of November, December and January. Therefore the 4th grant should have been issued in February, to cover for February, March and April. Instead it has been back dated to be given at the end of April to cover us for these months. Those in industries that are shut due to lockdown have no way of receiving income from our jobs. How are we supposed to live with no income for 3 months, whilst those on furlough still receive their money.
