    As my Income Support has not went in, I will need to try and get a Crisis Loan.

    My partner got Carer's Allowance today, thats went on bills and food. More Direct debts on Monday, therefore charges due to IS department!

    Does the decision maker take into acount DLA? I was payed this on Wednesday, but all gone. Bills and ant mind what else.

    I also need to go on a bus to get the loan if accepted. Problem with that. I've just had my face lasered and currently smoothered in vaseline. Been told to say inside, reduce risk of infenction. I'm also on very storng painkillers, so dopey all the time. Yet I need to go all the way in a 10 min bus journey.

    Tuesday this week I need money for a Taxi as going to see the Consultant for a check up, I've reacted in unusual manner.

    This late payment has happened at a bad time, stresing me out.

    Hello. Just to let you know. Most Crisis Loans for living expences can now be paid by credit transfer without you having to go to a JobcentrePlus office to accept the loan/sign for receipt of the Giro Cheque. If you are accepted for the loan, the payment will be in your account within 3 or 4 hours.

    Hope that helps. :)

    I know this technically has nothing to do with the thread but my rent sometimes goes out on a saturday by faster payment, so i dont see why a benefit wouldnt clear on a saturday.

    There is a diference between a giro arriving on a Saturday or the money going into the bank on a Saturday and the date the money is due. The only benefit paydays are Monday to Friday. Saturday and Sunday are not benefit paydays and never have been. THE OP'S BENEFIT IS NOT LATE AS IT IS NOT DUE UNTIL MONDAY.

    Yes i am not saying anything different, i am saying there is no reason why it can't clear on a Saturday, if you take a look back in the thread another poster has somewhere said that their mums cleared on a Saturday. It by no means excuses the op for relying on it clearing on a saturday as it is always the persons responsibility to make sure the funds are in the account.
  • I used to get paid on Saturday's with Lloyds but mine was linked somehow with my NI contributions so not sure if that's different. I only claimed for 2 weeks so don't know if it still happens that way.

    of course...those six weeks unemployed must have had a huge impact on your life that 24 years later you remember exactly what day you got a giro ;)
