The Social Fund Contact Telephone Number for the crisis loans sections has recently changed, for those of you that don’t know, the crisis loan telephone service (same day applications for living expenses) is run on a virtual network- this means that your call could be answered by any Benefit Centre dealing with social fund telephone calls in the UK.
Although the previous Social Fund Contact Telephone Number remains active for 3 months, your should Now call 08000 327952
Previously all offices had their own 0800 contact number, however as of this month their is one national social fund number for same day applications.
As before the DWP have made it difficult to find ( 6 pages into the direct gov site!) so here it is - 08000 327952

Social Fund is a waste of time I see smack heads and piss heads get 1 when they ay got a fix or a drink But wen sum1 needs 1 to feed there familys they get refused Wot a waste of space
One of my family member was granted crisis loan almost three week ago, he was told to fax the letter to the processing centre in Battersea South london ; every time he called to see if they have recieved they said that they havn`t recieved any fax; they told him to fax the copy again ,he has being doing this for all this time. How long before they paid the money to him.
