If you have been on jsa for 24weeks you can apply for a budgeting loan of up to £1500 to help with a deposit,they just take the repayments out of your jsa,we're waiting to hea back about ours at the moment0

Appreciate you want to move, but if the damp is affecting your health this needs addressing too. Do you know what the cause of the damp is and have you reported the problems to your landlord in writing by recorded delivery? Often mould signifies condensation, are you manually ventilating the flat effectively or using a dehumidifier?Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0
