Over 18 million users of the app, but if it tells you to isolate it will not allow the payment.
Only way you will get it is if contacted by a human contact tracer.

This is yet an additional major failure in the government's stream of appalling errors, much of it linked to their outsourcing of £billions in uncontested contracts to their friends or party donors.
The £500 isn't enough for hard-pushed families to isolate, pay rent/mortgage, feed children etc as it is, without them imposing a system that doesn't award and pay even that.
People should get a minimum of the 80% furlough pay, full minimum wage, whichever is the higher or their standard wages in full. People are to isolate for the benefit of others and so society should reimburse them.
Evidence again of fuckwits pretending that they are running the shop, that private is always good, that the Dido wife of a Conservative MP is anything but a serial failure and should not be being put in charge of more health services. And that these extremely wealthy people don't understand or care much, if at all, about poorer people.
The testing fiasco is bad enough. The tracing is atrocious, belatedly making contact with very few people, letting them spread infection around for many days or forever, if they don't make any contact at all, which is for about half those at risk of infecting you or I.
It's the 2 main categories of people who must be targeted effectively, so that we can reduce infection numbers - those known to be infected and to be paid to isolate and secondly those who have been exposed to the virus by infected people.
If we don't bother to get close to doing those things right, we may as well say goodbye to an economic recovery and to tens of thousands more lives.
Far too many incompetent and stupid people managing this aided and abetted by a stupid public |

"Ministers have known about this for 2 weeks and done bugger all about it...
It's not their fault, they're so busy counting their blood money they've not got time...  "
Tbh it looks like the ministers are not the only ones who couldn't give a shit about then.
I thought it was bang out of order but apart from you and sophie no one seem to care less on this... |

They’re all to busy shouting at random strangers who they lovingly call covidiots who are highly unlikely to read their scorn |

The app gives them no indication who the person is.
It was made that way because of 'privacy concerns'.
How can they possibly know who the app is being used by in order to pay them?
Yes, it's a shit system, but it's been further crippled by making it anonymous. |

Apparently they are advertising for jobs to work in the call centre.. 6 ton a day.
But must have experience In turning round a failing industry or something like that. |

I won't go into details but a friend of mine was paid to make a system to go alongside the track and trace and even when they found out it would not be used, the asked him to finish it even though they wouldn't have any operators using it as they had a 100 million budget to spend.... |

Well until they sort it out they need to accept the word of the claimant...its hardly likely they are going to scam them for 500 quid and have to isolate for two weeks, which they can easily be checked for breaking is it?
I'm sick to death of this lot taking the piss out of the most needy in society whilst they are putting it out there that they look out for them. |

Could be, but they won't be able to do anything with the Covid app - there's no data of any use in it and what little there is lives on the handset anyway.
I can only assume they are trying to bolster up the generic 'track and trace' using covid test results.
This is where GDPR creates more problems than it solves...

Well with the best will in the world, I doubt they're going to do that.
It's easy to resolve - if you get an alert, go get tested then you'll get the call and the £500 if you are eligible. |
