From 1 April 2021, you may be able to extend your payment deferral for payments up to and including 31 July 2021 provided that your deferrals cover consecutive periods and you otherwise satisfy the eligiblity criteria for a further payment deferral.  This means that you are not able to receive a payment after 31 March 2021 unless you are already benefitting from a payment deferral at the time that you make your request for an extension.
