The information requested is set out in the table following. However, it should be noted that while the scheme was extended to cover self-employed contributors in March 2017, the information break down requested is only available from the beginning of 2018. The claims relating to the earlier period, March to October 2017 were processed on an old system, which did not support this reporting requirement.
