Hi all, my friend is in full time self employment but has recently had major surgery and been temporarily signed off by his GP.

He’s now in receipt of UC (thankfully) but I wondered if there would be any other financial help he could access’s to see him through? (He lives alone)

Thank you kind people in advance 🙏🏼

Hi @CarrieB75, hope your friend is recovering okay! Was he in a union for his self employment? Sometimes they'll have hardship funds available for people who are struggling after illness or injury so that might be worth exploring.

He might also like to see if he's eligible for any grants: https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/
