Self-employed benefits

[Hibby70]

I am in paid employment but my partner is self employed. She's now not able to work due to coronavirus so not getting any income.

Does anyone know if she'll be entitled to Universal Credit or some kind of job seeker allowance. I'm kind of expecting not as I earn a decent wage.

I think that she can claim esa through universal credit, but not sure. Apparently they're reducing the time taken to claim.

Cheers will have a look at ESA.
