They will check on your tax return over the next couple of years.

the daft thing is i dont need 80% as its more like 30-40% in reality but you dont get the option to claim for less as far as im aware?

If this is the SEISS the easy option is to not claim all 4 tranches - just claim the ones which compensate you for the fall in your earnings.

As the poster above says - they will check against your 2020/21 Tax Return.
