HOW TO CLAIM

You must make the claim yourself. We cannot claim on your behalf although we are able to assist you with information to make your claim.

If you’re unable to claim online you should contact HMRC for help.

AFTER YOU’VE CLAIMED

HMRC will check your claim and pay your grant into your bank account, normally within 6 working days. You should also get a confirmation email advising you of the payment.

IF YOU THINK THE GRANT AMOUNT IS WRONG

HMRC are using the information from your Tax Returns to work out your grant amount.

If you think the grant amount is wrong, please contact us and we will calculate the amount due based on the information that we hold. If this is different from your grant amount, we can then contact HRMC on your behalf.
