If you already signed off defiantly consider putting  in a claim but check out the small print .What I would be weary of is after 17th Sept the application for covid Coin closes .If you go back and get the grant and then we go into lockdown again will you have disqualified yourself from claiming welfare as you agreed to return to work .If you have already returned to work why would they give you money ?
That's the proviso for qualifying. You must indeed have signed off pup to get it, not the other way around

I didn't defiantly sign off. I'm pulling well over twice the pup coinage now that I'm back. Albeit over six days. Still....

If I was working the streets there's no way I'd come anywhere near it either. I know there's plenty of depot- snobs out there, but I couldn't survive with my outgoings only for I'm with one.
I'd be working for the man otherwise, which would kill me.
Before covid, albeit I was putting the hours in, I was doing a lot more than that figure. Not bullshitting or trying to be a shit head about it, that's being honest. The day will come when I ditch the depot (when mortgage etc is gone) . Marriage recently went to the dogs, so that's an added factor- or bonus, depending on how you look at it! I'll just do enough Street work to get by. Will probably be on pension by then.

Thanks daly.... Yeah it's a funny old time. The covid came; I had heard a lot of talk about couples getting to know one another again and all that blarney. It had the opposite effect on us. We took social distancing to a whole new level! In fairness it was a long time coming. Anyhoo I bounced on, (coincidentally about week before our 26th anniversary! ) and moved in with me daddy. Things were going swimmingly for the first couple of weeks and then he unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away. So it's a bit mad at the moment, but I'm actually thankful for this job cos its keeping me half sane. If I was still on the pup and sitting at home I'd be bananas by now!

26 years suggests mortgage is paid, Father's death suggests inheritance coming, get advice, your Wife (still) most likely has already

Mortgage has about a year (we were 6 years married when we took it out) and we've been paying ahead. Inheritance is down the line. A lot of shit to sort. There won't be any messing around when it comes to airgead. I know some will say "they all change" etc, but she'll have a roof over her head and she's aware of that. We can all play hardball if it comes down to it. Things are amicable so tally ho.

That was a rough period for you alright Hal. Life's a bitch. Like me and many other drivers, you probably look at some of the dirt that we drive around and marvel at how they go through life without a care in the world, and none of the problems that decent folk have.

did you ever read the real deal by James Caan? I read it lately. there is a great bit in it about when his father died, he is muslim so they do it very differently, you are buried that day, your kids bathe you together, he said as he was bathing his father, he was crying uncontrollably, but he got over it fairly quickly. he thinks it is because of the way its done in their religion, he said British people tend to bottle it up, stiff upper lip and he thinks it probably effects them for longer.
