ive just broken up with my partner and for the past 2 and a half years ive ben under his claim for jsa ive got a two year old and im pregnant im currently staying at my mothers can i get a loan
Vanessa, Your best bet would be to make a single claim to benefit- then apply for a crisis loan to cover you until your benefit is sorted. YOu can apply for help with rent at a new property too.
hello,im on jsa and im wondering when i can apply for a new bed as i have been sleeping on a 3rd hand single bed which is now broke.i recieved £150 three years ago for a new bed but could only buy a used one as a new bed would cost over the price of what i was given,would love to hear back from you thanks
Seems like the type of situation that they do help with.
Can you claim a 2nd crisis loan before paying the 1st crisis loan back?? Thanku
Yes you can ben, you can apply for up to 3 “normal” crisis loans in 12 months, and an unlimited (up to £1500.00) number of alignments to benefit
Are you able to reply to my query above?
Hi
I work full time, my wife does not work and we have a 6 month old daughter. Our boiler has been condemned as unsafe and the whole system requires replacing as it is 30 years old and cannot be repaired. I cannot get credit as I am in an IVA and therefore have no spare money available. Is it possible to get crisis loan for this?
Many thanks
Hi, sorry for the slow reply.
Unfortunately a Crisis Loan can not be paid for this any longer ( since april 2011)
a family member is dying but having got any money to travel on the ferry can you apply for a crisis loan?
Sorry Carla,
Crisis loans are only issued to prevent a risk to your own health and safety.
Hi, i am currently in a two bedroom private let & want to move to a cheaper & more central private let.
Can you tell me if i could get a crisis loan to pay rent in advance & can i apply for it 4weeks prior to the move?
YOu may get it, hoever you need to show that their is a risk to your health and safety at your present address, rather then just fancying a move..
Hi, i am currently on jsa and receiving dss for a private let. This is my first flat after recently being released from prison. I just received a gas and electricity bill for £ 523, which is a lot more than i have budgeted for, therefor have no means to pay it. Can you please tell me if i would be eligible for a crisis loan as i’m panicking as i don’t no how i’m going to pay it.
Thank you
Hi Graig,
Unfortunately Crisis loans will not cover bills any longer.. your best bet is to see if you can have a PAYG meter fitted
Hi
I am on job seekers allowance and live alone in a private let payed for by DSS, I just received my first Gas and Electricity bill for £523 for the last quarter and I don’t have enough money to pay the bill.
This is the first bill I have received and didn’t realise it would be so high as for the last 4 years I was in prison and this is the first flat I have ever had.
Can you advise whether I would be eligible for a crisis loan?
Many Thanks
