Treasury Minister will review schemes
The treasury minister has promised to review Covid support schemes if it becomes clear some aren't getting the help they need.
A fixed payment of £1,500 has been made available by government to help small businesses and the self-employed with overheads of at least £500 per month.
It's alongside loan schemes, salary support and MERA.
A number of self-employed workers have told Manx Radio they won't be eligible for the latest scheme, and existing support is not enough.
