    Yes.

    I can't remember how much I borrowed. LOL. I am paying £10.50 per week.

    I may ask DWP for a Budgeting Loan for a new bed ;) . I would ask Provident but the APR is horrendous.
    Can you get that on Carer's? I though you had to be on IS or JSA (IB)?

    Because the Government say you have to have a minimum amount of money to live on.

    That amount is £87.96 p/w. As my Carer's Allowance is only £50.55 this makes up the difference.
