1. Currently there is an article which is updated as regularly as we can from Simon Osborne which seeks to give changes thus far- https://www.askcpag.org.uk/content/200997/benefit-and-coronavirus—early-changes

This is worth checking up on if you want a single resource with links etc.

2. A useful article (claimant could read) that deals with tax credits issues in light of coronavirus. (Although note HMRC seem to be taking a position they don’t regard decreases in hours due to covid 19 as ending entitlement).-

3.Another on self employed issues. https://www.askcpag.org.uk/content/201051/self-employment—-universal-credit-and-coronavirus

Again with all of these they will need updating quickly and we will attempt to do that.
