    there is no template as such. Write to them asking them to review your claim. Head the letter:
    FSA Waiver Directions: Financial Hardship Claim

    See page 11 here:
    http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pages/Doing/Regulated/Notify/Waiver/pdf/disp_monthly.pdf

    Mention any of the following that apply to you:

    Financial hardship
    Reduced income/loss of job
    Level of priority debt arrears against free income available
    Utility arrears such as gas/electricity threat of being cut off
    Mortgage arrears
    Council Tax arrears
    Credit card debts
    Repossession
    Serious health issues both physically and mentally
    Threat of possible suicide
    No money for food or rent
