Was discussing this with some mates yesterday as one of them got the same notification - says you are able to challenge the decision and the criteria is pretty vague as just says you are eligible ‘if you are making less than you expected to’.
He decided that he was ‘expecting’ to make £1,000,000 for the period and would challenge it as it doesn’t say anywhere what you have to base your expectation on or that is has to be realistic...
Although seriously you can probably just say I was expecting to make X for this period as that is what I made during the same period pre-covid.
Suspect they might be trying to reduce costs and hoping people just accept their decision.
I’d been worrying that I had been too well compensated with the SEISS. Did my tax calculations for 20-21, and bloody hell, I really didn’t have much cash come in over the last year.
Which is helpful to know at least.
