SEISS grant 5: Will the fifth grant be decreased? How much can I get?

Like many, self-employed people have struggled to keep afloat during the coronavirus crisis as the unprecedented economic downturn caused by lockdown restrictions has remained pervasive throughout the crisis. Three grants have been issued so far, with the fourth due to be announced at the Budget on March 3.
Rishi Sunak will outline his economic roadmap out of the coronavirus crisis with his delivery of the annual Budget this week.
The Chancellor is expected to outline how long economic measures are expected to continue, including flagship schemes such as the SEISS grant and the furlough scheme.
The SEISS grant has already helped millions of workers throughout the coronavirus pandemic in the UK, with billions given to those who have seen their profits slashed over the past year.
The scheme is already known to be continuing into the spring, with the fourth grant designed to see freelance workers through to April.
