Glitch In HMRC Income Support Scheme Eligibility Checker?

Just used HMRC's website to check if client is eligible for Self-employment Income Support Scheme grant (she is) but #HMRC say she isn't & told her to ask her accountant (who hasn't a clue why she isn't! 🤷‍♂️) Contacted HMRC who will reply by end of May. #selfemployed 🇬🇧➡️🐕🐕🐕🐕
