I have a feeling that the 40% will be increased to 80% for the self-employment support scheme and can apply for it from 14th December. The furlough scheme was supposed to end 31st October but has been extended for another month as from today. Furlough is 80% - I think the self employment grant will have to match the 80%. It will cover 6 months and be paid in 2 instalments, Nov, Dec, Jan and then the 2nd one is February, March and April.
