What happens with the extension of emergency aid
Between the government aid
To date, UK citizens who have passed the program have received five monthly installments of £ 600 each. Now, with the extension of the emergency aid, the beneficiaries will receive £ 300 over the next four months. This generates, in total, the equivalent to £ 4.2 thousand.
