I've got covid. I'm struggling with finances. Is it true you can get a discretionary payment?

I was tested positive for covid on Sunday , me and my children have to isolate for 10days . I’m really struggling with finances, someone told me about a discretionary covid payment but is it true enough you can get 1 for that , I don’t want to ring my local office in case it’s not true
