Wage support exclusion ‘led six to suicide’

AT LEAST six people excluded from the government’s coronavirus wage support schemes have taken their own lives this month, a campaign group said today.

ExcludedUK represents the three million people in Britain who are not eligible for the Job Retention Scheme (JRS) or the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS).

Group members said today that another potential suicide had been averted on Sunday night.
