It would not be for the Department for Work and Pensions to comment on why workers eligible for furlough have been denied payments.
Those who are out of work or who are on a low income can claim Universal Credit and/or New Style JSA or ESA, if they are entitled.
Help to Claim is available online, over the phone and face to face through local Citizens Advice offices.
