    Anyone can apply for a Crisis Loan, whether your immediate/ emergency needs will qualify you for one is a different matter. What is your reason for applying?
    Gone ... or have I?

    i think you mean a budgeting loan?
    crisis loans are usually small amounts of money to get you through a couple of days.

    Whilst crisis loans are usually small sums to get you through in the short term, they are also available for more costly items.

    A couple of years ago, I was loaned over £1100 to help me move house and buy furniture, in an emergency. I did, however, have to appeal, and it took several months to sort out. However the nature of my emergency could not be sorted any other way.

    What do you need the loan for?

    Did you not qualify for a CCG?
