>The UK pays a £500 incentive to anyone who gets covid-19 Not exactly anyone. In addition to being told by the NHS to isolate at home based on a positive diagnosis or close contact with one, you must be: - Currently employed or self-employed. - Unable to work from home and will lose income as a result of self-isolating. - Currently receiving low-income benefits. You need to provide evidence of all of these items. There are probably avenues for exploitation, but it's intended to be directly replacing income lost as a result of the isolation. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/test-and-trace-support-payment-scheme-claiming-financial-support/claiming-financial-support-under-the-test-and-trace-support-payment-scheme https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/test-and-trace-su...
