GRANT I need help desperately

yosserhughesghost

I was wondering if anybody could help me at all

I have been trying to get my HGV class 2 Licence and have had a grant from my jobcentre for £300 which covered a test and a couple of hours lessons as i have been on JSA for more than 6 months after being made redundant from my old place which closed due to the climate of things

Im really desperate to get back into employment as i can imagine a lot of people are

I failed my test on something i believed was stupid and didnt agree with
After speaking to the trainer before the test he said due to the credit crunch there are not of lot of people taking the test so work is tight for the trainers and the DVLA
I thought it would be easy to fail me because of this as they probably know I would come back

I am frustrated at the end of my teather because im trying to better myself and want to get off benefit as its no life at all

I was wondering if there is any other grants out there which could help me get my licence ( a retest is £230) and help me back in to work at all?

My credit rating is not very good so I cant get a loan

I live in the Midlands

I hope there is someone out there who can help me as im really really desperate

love this site by the way

thanks for your time

If you think that the examiner failed you because not many tests are being carried out bla bla bla and you think that you shouldn't have failed, have you thought about making a complaint to the test centre or the DVLA?

You could try making another claim to the jobcentre but I doubt that you will get anywhere because you have already received £300 - make a business case for it, I did when I wanted some money for a course and managed to prise £520 out of them although they wouldn't allow me to go back for more money:rolleyes:

Good luck.

Thanks very much for your reply

If i complained what would happen there do you think?
would i make a name for myself?
be a marked man
have you heard of cases of people complaining and getting the licence?
I'll try anything!

Business Grant ?
How would I obtain one of those , and what do they give you them for in business relation?

Many thanks
