Glad to hear you've made a decent recovery by the sounds of it. I could be wrong, but I believe it's a pretty natural process for the human body to regain weight lost after illness. Some of what you lose when your sick is water weight too.

Thank you.

I received an email today, being informed that I will receive £500 for catching COVID-19 and having to self-isolate for 10 days, so that has made me happy.

£500!? Is that sick pay or?

Paid by the government, for catching COVID-19 and self-isolating.

Is this a scheme or something? It's the first I've heard of people being paid for isolating? Is it to cover lost income or?

Exactly.

In my locality, If you've lost Income due to Isolation/quarantine or even taking a day off work to get tested, you're compensated - no questions asked.

You are eligible for it if you are employed or self-employed but on a low income.

I am not quite sure how low they consider a low income though, as I am on triple the annual minimum wage and they accepted my application for it.

Ohh so it's a means tested thing. I've been very lucky to not need it thus far. Thank you for sharing though! It's good to know.
