Businessman claimed £50,000 Covid support loan despite not having traded since 2019
A Blackburn man has been hit with a six year ban after allowing his firm to claim a £50,000 Covid support loan it was never entitled to.
Western was knocked back for a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme but managed to claim the maximum £50,000 from the Bounce Back Loan scheme which was set up to help small and medium sized firm survive disruption caused by the pandemic. By the time the company went bust with £280k, it had failed to pay back a single penny of the BBL.An investigation was launched by the Insolvency Service and concluded with two men being given six year bans from running businesses.
Cornlelius Kleyhans, of City Road, Islington, was the other director to be given a ban for his involvement in Western Isles. According to the Insolvency Service, both men breached their duties by allowing the firm to apply for BBL despite not being entitled. It found that after the efforts to wind down the firm in August 2019, no trading income was received in the following six months but during that period an application was made for the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.
That money was received on May 5, 2020, and over the coming months, £41,000 was transferred to connected company's despite strict rules on the funds only being used for the benefit of the business applying. No other trading income was received by December 8, 2020 when a winding order was issued.

The negative impact of COVID-19 on working memory revealed using a rapid online quizAlthough coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the respiratory system, it can also have neurological consequences leading to cognitive deficits such as memory problems. The aim of our study was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on working memory function. We developed and implemented an online anonymous survey with a working memory quiz incorporating aspects of gamification to engage participants. 5428 participants successfully completed the survey and memory quiz between 8th December 2020 and 5th July 2021 (68.6% non-COVID-19 and 31.4% COVID-19). Most participants (93.3%) completed the survey and memory quiz relatively rapidly (mean time of 8.84 minutes). Categorical regression was used to assess the contribution of COVID status, age, time post-COVID (number of months elapsed since having had COVID), symptoms, ongoing symptoms and gender, followed by non-parametric statistics. A principal component analysis explored the relationship between subjective ratings and objective memory scores. The objective memory scores were significantly correlated with participants’ own assessment of their cognitive function. The factors significantly affecting memory scores were COVID status, age, time post-COVID and ongoing symptoms. Our main finding was a significant reduction in memory scores in all COVID groups (self-reported, positive-tested and hospitalized) compared to the non-COVID group. Memory scores for all COVID groups combined were significantly reduced compared to the non-COVID group in every age category 25 years and over, but not for the youngest age category (18–24 years old). We found that memory scores gradually increased over a period of 17 months post-COVID-19. However, those with ongoing COVID-19 symptoms continued to show a reduction in memory scores. Our findings demonstrate that COVID-19 negatively impacts working memory function, but only in adults aged 25 years and over. Moreover, our results suggest that working memory deficits with COVID-19 can recov
